Help/Guidance in resolving: 'nfe0 tx v2 error 0X6004'
From ifconfig (Free BSD):

nfe0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST>
metric 0 mtu 1500

options=8<VLAN_MTU>
ether (ommited, but correct)
inet 192.168.10.100 netmask 0Xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.10.255
media:Ethernet autoselect (100BaseTX <half-duplex>
status: active


Bolded flags seem to indicate a configuration problem- from Free BSD handbook.

After oblique Google search references to:
'error 0X6004', i do not know where/how to continue nailing this down.

I've -

-Checked the HW release notes for Ver. 7.1 before install, the on-board MCP (NVidia/Nforce4 - MCP51 checked OK)
- (2 yr old post) at Asus forums tells of a Video Out issue with this Mobo. Talk of Bios handling of compiled ACPI not fully compliant w/ ACPI standards (a Windows compiler- apparently).
- Upgraded Mobo Bios firmware to newer release.

Post Install
-Checked the Kernel Config, w/ reference to the driver Man. page
- Pinged the LoopBack - Success
- Pinged the interface itself - Success
- * Can not reach my SoHo Gateway (very small net), but I dual booted w/ Windows (long standing install)... works on Windows!
- Re-flashed Mobo Bios to the 3 most recent releases and tried again.

I am totally new to this OS, so the learning is straight up.

Anyone recognize my issue here, and can spend some keyboard time offering guidance toward resolving this?
(hunch) A driver problem? ifconfig says 'autoselect', but is that same as AutoNegotiate (in Unix parlance?). If so, the int. should be at 100TX Full Duplex, not Half.

Thanks, Tom

[edit] Went to my Gateway, the corresponding int. for the Free BSD shows everything UP

IWI(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						    IWI(4)

NAME

     iwi -- Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG/2915ABG IEEE 802.11 driver

SYNOPSIS

     iwi* at pci? dev ? function ?

DESCRIPTION

     The iwi driver provides support for Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG and 2915ABG MiniPCI network adapters.

     By default, the iwi driver configures the adapter for BSS operation (aka infrastructure mode).  This mode requires the use of an access
     point.

     For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).

     The Intel firmware requires acceptance of the End User License Agreement.	The full license text can be found in
     /libdata/firmware/if_iwi/LICENSE.ipw2200-fw.  The license is agreed to by setting the sysctl variable hw.iwi.accept_eula to 1.

EXAMPLES

     Join an existing BSS network (i.e.: connect to an access point):

	   ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00

     Join a specific BSS network with network name ``my_net'':

	   ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net

     Join a specific BSS network with 64 bits WEP encryption:

	   ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net 
		   nwkey 0x1234567890

     Join a specific BSS network with 128bits WEP encryption:

	   ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net 
		   nwkey 0x01020304050607080910111213

DIAGNOSTICS

     iwi%d: device timeout  The driver will reset the hardware.  This should not happen.
