i82573E wm(4) trouble

[Vlad GURDIGA]

Hello,

I've installed this days NetBSD 3.1 using the ISO image. Unfortunately
there was no driver for my Gigabit (10/100/1000 Mbits/sec) LAN
subsystem using the Intel(r) 82573E/82573V/82574V Gigabit Ethernet
Controller, so I got the latest sources for the system and rebuilt the
kernel. Now it loks like the adapter is found and the driver is
loaded. The configuration file, /etc/ifconfig.wm0 contains the
following:

up
inet 89.34.248.77/24

but I cannot ping enything else but localhost and 89.34.248.77, even
my gateway 89.34.248.1. "ping -n 89.34.248.1" says that host is down.
At the hardware level is everythig OK, I got Windows XP and FreeBSD
working fine with this NIC. What should I check?

Make that `inet 89.34.248.77 prefixlen 24`.

Uh, what? The syntax Vlad used was just fine.

Vlad: do you have any better luck if you set the media type and duplex
by hand instead of letting the device autoconfigure? I am not sure we
talk to the PHY on the 82573 correctly -- until recently, there weren't
many out there in the marketplace and they're pretty buggy (for example,
jumbo frame support is totally broken) so the usual suspects for hacking
the NetBSD wm driver, most of whom care mostly about servers, haven't
paid much attention to it.

I'm fairly certain NetBSD does not. See kern/35386, which (among
others) mentions the 82573E and 82573L.

Indeed this is the adapter that I have, and I must always set the
media type by hand. I have even had panics induced by media
autodetection (twice, I think, and not at all recently).
