Problem with DLink QuadPort 10/100

[arzepp]

Hi.

I have the following problem with my DLink QuadPort Card (D-Link DFE-570TX (21143, MII, quad port)):

ste0: <d-link 10="" dl10050="" 100basetx="">port 0x6000-0x607f irq 9 at device 4.0 on pc

One port out of 4 is not correctly recognized and I can not use it under pfSense.
–> ste2: MII without any phy!
I am currently running pfSense 1.2-RC4 on my server.
Could you say me if there is a patch for this problem ? I really need the 4 ports !

Thanks a lot in advance for your answer.

Cordially,

It's highly likely that the port in question (or possibly the card) is faulty.

A quick check would be to grab the FreeBSD 6.3 LiveCD and see what it thinks of the card.

I use the same card without any problems. All four ports work fine.

Just curious - do you have all four ports connected to a hub or switch so they are active???

I have run into the situation where the interface had to be active before it was detected - especially if all the ports were on the same interrupt (I have not worked with that card so I don't know if it is the same)…

I only have three ports connected but all four are detected.
