Has anyone gotten the National Semiconductor DP 83815 network adapter to work using the natsemi module in 1.4 final? I've been having problems the past week -- the module and nic work great on the livecd. After the first reboot, I've got *zero* network connectivity with the card. The card is up, with the proper IP and what appears to be the right routing tables, but I cannot get it to work. I can reboot into the live cd, and the card will work fine again. I'm just looking for some validation out there that someone has gotten this card to work, and that's its either me screwing something up royally, or some some quirk that I'm too unlearned to figure out.
I've got an HP ZE4145 (laptop) that ran fine with FreeBSD 5.0 and 5.1 on. If you could post your computer model that would be great too. I've seen at least two other posters on this board that seem to have the same issue, but I haven't seen any posts from people that have it working properly.
Also, does anyone think this would this be something that someone would be around to assist with during the "bugfest" that's coming up?
Thanks,
jay |

I've just reinstalled my router, converting it from RedHat to Gentoo 1.4 final using the stage 1 tarball. lspci lists
| Code: | | National Semiconductor Corporation DP83815 (MacPhyter) Ethernet Controller |
as my card and it works fine with the natsemi module in the 2.4.22_pre2-gss kernel. I can also verify two other Netgear natsemi cards working on two 1.4 final systems using gentoo-sources 2.4.20-r6. The cards are on an Intel BX, LX and VIA VPX chipset, respectively. Unfortunately I've never had any problems with this adapter, so I can't provide much in the way of troubleshooting..
Good luck!

I had a similar problem with an HP Pavillion ZE4430. I was able to get it working with the help of mii-tool. This is a tool to reset autonegotiation on the nic. If you do a google search, you should be able to find it. After I got mii-tool installed I added a line to /etc/init.d/net.eth0:
ebegin "Bringing ${IFACE} up"
/usr/sbin/mii-tool -R ${IFACE} > /dev/null <-- Added this line
if [ "${iface_IFACE}" != "dhcp" ]
Checkout the following link where I found most of this info:

Hope this helps. |

I had the same problem when using the natsemi driver.
Running:
mii-tool -r
as root fixed it as the previous post indicates. If you have the two CD install one of the precompiled packages on these CD's provides the mii-tool binary. I don't know the name of the package but I'm sure its there becuase it was on my system and I haven't added any software except what I've installed from those two CD's. |
