Hello,

I got a new Dell R730 server with 4 BCM5720C network interfaces (built in
on motherboard).

Initially I have installed 10.1-RELEASE, but now I am on 10.1-STABLE (built
and hour ago).

The issue I am experiencing that ifconfig doesn't see connected cable. (Yes
I have tried 3 different cables, and they do work otherwise). I have tried
forcing it to 1000baseT but no effect.
(Tried running dhclient bge0 - no response from DHCP server).
Here is dmesg output for one of interfaces:

bge0: <Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet, ASIC rev. 0x5720000> mem

bge0: APE FW version: NCSI v1.3.7.0

bge0: Using defaults for TSO: 65518/35/2048

bge0: Ethernet address: 44:a8:42:1b:b4:67

Here is output of ifconfig:

ifconfig bge0

bge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

ether 44:a8:42:1b:b4:67

nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>

media: Ethernet autoselect (none)

status: no carrier

Here is output of pciconf for bge0:

pciconf -lv bge0

bge0@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x1f5b1028 chip=0x165f14e4 rev=0x00
hdr=0x00

    vendor     = 'Broadcom Corporation'

    device     = 'NetXtreme BCM5720 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe'

    class      = network

    subclass   = ethernet

As server is not yet in production - I am willing to give a try for some
patches (if any), etc.

Sorry if it's wrong mailing list :)
