Doug,
I tried your patch (as well as one from you on 1/13/2006) on FreeBSD
6.1-RC2 but experienced hard lockups. It happens during startup right
after setting the hostname, right before it would normally bring up the
interface I believe.
This is on four different servers, all Supermicro motherboards (H8DAR
and H8DAE) based on the Broadcom BCM5704 chip.
Here is the pciconf -lv:
bge0@pci2:3:0: class=3D0x020000 card=3D0x164815d9 chip=3D0x164814e4 =
rev=3D0x10
hdr=3D0x00
vendor =3D 'Broadcom Corporation'
device =3D 'BCM5704 NetXtreme Dual Gigabit Adapter'
class =3D network
subclass =3D ethernet
bge1@pci2:3:1: class=3D0x020000 card=3D0x164815d9 chip=3D0x164814e4 =
rev=3D0x10
hdr=3D0x00
vendor =3D 'Broadcom Corporation'
device =3D 'BCM5704 NetXtreme Dual Gigabit Adapter'
class =3D network
subclass =3D Ethernet
Any ideas? If you need any more information or have other patches I can
test for you, let me know!
