loas,

hm - I've deactivated onboard LAN in order to avoid
prolly forseen issues with unknown chipset and such and
plugged in
an ordinary 3com 905CX-TX nic in order to get things up and
running - if it's maybe related to your issue.

To summarize what I've done so far - I've upgraded the
board in question
to the newest BIOS available (v0203 iirc) - loaded setup
defaults -
reconfigured them (... deactivated onboard lan) and all was
fine.

Not sure if it even matters - or if it even might have sight
effects on
your current setup which might led to your issue at all -
this board
(according to ASUS' forums  and other forums) will/should
run stable if
the desired RAM voltage is <= 1.95V - there are several
posts where
people complain that it runs quite unstable/quirky with
higher voltage
ram (2.0V/2.1V and such from wellknown vendors).

I've upped some stats about this board as well:

  https://www.undermydesk.org/pub/freebsd/asus_m2ne_specs/


if anyone cares to port the audio driver (which currently
doesn't work
on 7.0-CURRENT - but works on Linux Fedora Core 5 [using
alsa where it's
detected as AD1988B by ac97]) =)
(I cannot figure out the ac97 codecid for this chip -
compared to
current ac97 sources - and from looking at the alsa code I
guess that
this even won't suffice... because they use some patch then
if it's an
AD1988x).

HTH - cheers,

Frank Reppin

Tried disabling LAN from BIOS, no changes. BTW, the on_board
lan is 
recognized by if_nfe (not probed by GENERIC, you must
kldload)

Nice to know. Just: how the heck I tell what voltage is
running my 
DDR533?

On this list it would have been more useful a set of output
files from 
FreeBSD, these are from RedHat 

Could you please post the result of 'vmstat -i' from
-CURRENT ?

Thanks,
Angelo.

The vendors usually offer those detailed specs on their
homepage.

Uhm - yeah - and my apologies :>
Just noticed that I suffer from that severe interrupt storm
as well
(went unnoticed - probably because this new comp is multiple
times
faster than my previous box :p):

I've not had the time to identify any committer to thank in
particular, 
but I inform you that a 7-CURRENT release CD home-built on
2006-09-11 
does not show this interrupt storm anymore on my
motherboard.

I'll try 6-STABLE this evening and will report back.

Thanks to all involved.

Angelo.
