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
