Hi

I am having trouble with the 'fxp' driver in FreeBSD 4.9-release. The 
card I am using is an Intel 82550 Pro/100 Ethernet card. For some 
reason, the driver always says "no carrier". For example,

fxp1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet6 fe80::202:b3ff:fe62:9ad9%fxp1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
        ether 00:02:b3:62:9a:d9
        media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
        status: no carrier

I have an Intel 82557 Pro/100 Ethernet card on the same server, and that 
works fine. For example,

fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 135.207.13.213 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 135.207.13.255
        inet6 fe80::200:f4ff:fea4:10b%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
        ether 00:00:f4:a4:01:0b
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX)
        status: active

Has anybody encountered similar problem with 82550 card? If so, pointers 
would be great....
