I'll check Tuesday with one connected to a HP 10/100bt HUB, and a 3com 10/100bt switch. (I think connected to HUB is biggest problem) If I do a 'ifconfig bge0 media 100basetx' it seems to help. if I just did a ifconfig to look at it, it shows no carrier, even if cable plugged in. latest drivers are on freebsd 5.5 RELENG_5_5 Sept 5: > I had been in contact with one of our broadcom > developers and he mentioned that the RELENG_5 > (including 5.5) driver for bge is "old". > > Is it possible for you to check whether the 6.X > releases (6-STABLE or 6.1 pref.) have this same > issue? > I still have boxes at 4.11! (and I finally figured out how to get them to remotely upgrade to 5.5 in a headless, hands off situation) Not ready to go to 6.1 yet, sorry. (and 5.5 is still production, right? we going to have a 5.6? with new bge drivers?) Sept 16: verified on 5.5 p4, system was dell 420 on a netlink 10/100 switch. softboot failed to reconnect to network. all lights on, 'carrier' detected, ifconfig showed 100basetx full-duplex, but had to power off dell 420 in order to actually get it to connect to network.
