I'm unable to get a Broadcom DCM5754 GigeE (allegedly) interface on a Dell
745 desktop to talk gigabit Ethernet.
It works fine at 100 Mbits/full duplex and works fine, to the extent that one
can tell, under Windows 7 x64 and Centos 5.
Attempts to force it to gigabit through options in rc.conf fail.
The errors look like those reported some years ago for another 745, but I would
have guessed that that particular problem no longer existed.
I have a workaround (installing an Intel 1000 MT into a PCI slot) so this is
not a critical problem. I'm using the 745 to control an HP MSL6000 tape library
(2 LTO-3 drives) and amanda from ports and dump are working without
problems, thank you very much.
