Hi,
This is a WAN emulator (ipfw, DummyNet, and BIRD). FreeBSD 9.2 Release (amd=
64) is running on DL360 G5 with a new NC364T quad-port Ethernet NIC. I inst=
alled the new NIC yesterday. The four ports are connected to routers in a l=
ab.

The four em interfaces are configured the same way (lines in rc.conf are id=

The GE 0/1 port on the Cisco 2821 shows no link and ifconfig shows "no carr=
ier" for em3. Oddly, it also shows autoselect.

I have tried three Ethernet cables with no difference. This morning, I brie=
fly booted Puppy Linux from USB and manually configured the four Ethernet i=
nterfaces. They all work (ping good to all four routers); the Cisco on em3 =
shows happy lights. I then booted back into FreeBSD, the problem with em3 r=
emains. I have not had any success searching with Google; I may not have us=
ed suitable search terms.
One more odd symptom: bmon has trouble with these interfaces.
em0=E895^S!m on WANemu
Name

WANemu (local)
0 em0=E895^S!m
1 em1=E895^S!l
2 em2=E895^S!o
3 em3=E895^S!n
4 usbus0
5 usbus1
6 usbus2
7 usbus3
8 usbus4
9 usbus5
10 ipfw0
11 lo0
It looks like FreeBSD is somehow mishandling these interfaces. Before purch=
asing it, I searched with Google and found reports of people using this dev=
ice without problems. I do not know how to proceed.
Thank you for your help.
