[Qemu-devel] eepro100 issues

[Juergen Lock]

Hi again!

 I also played with the new eepro100 nic and found these things:

1. i82557b seem to work with
        
http://debian.tu-bs.de/project/sidux/release/SIDUX-2007-01-200702210759-CHAOS.ISO
(see
        http://www.sidux.com/Article116.html
, it is based on debian sid), but

2. i82551 and i82559er with the same livecd sooner or later will cause
qemu to crash like this with no backtrace available:

(this first occured when playing with -smb in runlevel 2 which can be
mounted like this:
        # mount.smbfs //10.0.2.4/qemu /mnt
and then dd'ing a bigger file to /dev/null, I was trying to test network
throughput...  but once it even crashed like that just while typing
the mount command.)

3. And with
        
http://ftp.us.freesbie.org/pub/FreeSBIE/2.0.1-RELEASE/FreeSBIE-2.0.1-RELEASE.iso
(see
        http://www.freesbie.org/
, based on FreeBSD 6.2) i82557b and i82559er worked, but

4. i82551 attached but would not receive packets.

 Hope this is helpful to some :)
