I acquired this solid piece of hardware, and, despite noticing some problems encountered by other FBSD users with this marque, I took up the challenge, using FreeBSD 10.1 (amd64). At first I configured the native gigabit nic (bge), with and without PXE enabled, then installed an Intel gigabit CT (em) card and tried configuring that, with and without bge enabled. Hardware probe finds both nics, and reports whichever is configured to be active. DHCP times out for either, manual configuration (bsdinstall) appears to work, but when the parameters are to be displayed from ?unbound, the entries are blank, requiring re-entry of the values including gateway. Ifconfig reports active configured nic, with the manually entered ip address. Of course ping reports host down for any other hosts on the private network. I am unsure whether this is an old HP problem, whether the board is defective, or whether something malign has been introduced in 10.1. I am loathe to invest in a support contract, especially when the docs for the latest cumulative ROM (current is v2.61 07/06/2009) upgrade contain no mention of nic fixes. Any suggestions? Ian Fitzgerald.
