Atheros AR8172 PCIe Fast Ethernet

[ma...@manfred-hermann.de]

Hi,

I'm trying to install FreeBSD 10.2 (generic kernel) on a Toshiba
Satellite Pro C50D-A-145. If I'm trying to establish a connection to
another host, i.e. via sftp, the following message more and more appears:

alc0: DMA write error! -- resetting

I cannot transfer any files with sftp, the password prompt is still
remaining.

The output of dmesg looks like this:

alc0: <Atheros AR8172 PCIe Fast Ethernet> port 0x2000-0x207f mem 0xf0800000-0xf083ffff at device 0.0 on pci2
alc0: 11776 Tx FIFO, 12032 Rx FIFO
alc0: Using 1 MSIX message(s)
miibus0: <MII bus> on alc0
atphy0: <Atheros F1 10/100/1000 PHY> PHY 0 on miibus0
atphy0: none, 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseT-FDX, 1000baseT-FDX-master, auto, auto-flow
alc0: Using defaults for TSO: 65518/35/2048

and then the correct Ethernet address.

The Toshiba is a dual boot machine, so I have Xubuntu (:-((( ) installed
in addition. With this OS the Atheros AR8172 PCIe Fast Ethernet works
fine!

I don't understand the problem: Is it a bug? What can I do?

Thanks in advance

Manfred

Hey! Did you fix the problem? i'm trying to install freeBSD 11 on a Toshiba Satellite C50-d A12x too! i've completed the installation and set the network, but i can't install the Handbooks, it starts to say "alc0: DMA write error! --resetting" over and over
