FreeBSD 9.2 Release (amd64) is running on DL360 G5 with a new NC364T quad-port Ethernet NIC. I installed the new NIC yesterday. The four ports are connected to routers in a lab. > FreeBSD WAMemu 9.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE #0 r255898: Thu Sep 26 22:50:31 UTC 2013 > root@bake.isc.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 > > Dec 16 17:13:19 WANemu kernel: em3: port 0x6020-0x603f mem 0xfdee0000-0xfdefffff,0xfde00000-0xfde7ffff irq 17 at device 0.1 on pci22 > Dec 16 17:13:19 WANemu kernel: em3: Using an MSI interrupt > Dec 16 17:13:19 WANemu kernel: em3: Ethernet address: e8:39:35:13:21:6e > > The four em interfaces are configured the same way (lines in rc.conf are identical except for IP address. > ifconfig_em3="inet x.y.113.197/29 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" > ifconfig_em0="inet x.y.113.14/29 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" > ifconfig_em2="inet x.y.113.109/29 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" > ifconfig_em1="inet x.y.113.189/29 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" > > The GE 0/1 port on the Cisco 2821 shows no link and ifconfig shows "no carrier" for em3.

This morning, I briefly booted Puppy Linux from USB and manually configured the four Ethernet interfaces. 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 remains. I have not had any success searching with Google; I may not have used suitable search terms. > > One more odd symptom: bmon has trouble with these interfaces. > em0è95^S!m on WANemu > Name > qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq > WANemu (local) > 0 em0è95^S!m > 1 em1è95^S!l > 2 em2è95^S!o > 3 em3è95^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.
