sis0 problems with 3.6

Guest · Posted: Wed Mar 23, 2005 7:35 am Post subject: sis0 problems with 3.6

I have now tried two motherboards both with a SIS chipset and the
integrated NIC seems to have quite a bit of trouble with OpenBSD.

sis0 at pci0 dev 4 function 0 "SIS 900 10/100BaseTX" rev 0x91: irq 11,
address 00:01:6c:a3:60:59

# ifconfig sis0
sis0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
address: 00:01:6c:a3:60:59
media: Ethernet 100baseTX full-duplex
status: active
inet 192.168.0.252 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
inet6 fe80::201:6cff:fea3:6059%sis0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1

When sending large files through this NIC, it freezes for a good few
minutes and stops all traffic. Also, when using SSH, input seems to
"hiccup" i.e. there are short pauses when typing text.
I have tried playing with the media settings thinking it was an autoneg
problem, but no luck.

I forgot to mention that this is on
OpenBSD 3.6-stable (NEWGATE) #0: Tue Mar 22 23:14:17 PST 2005
The machine is configured as a gateway with two other rl0 and rl1 NICs
which have no problem.
