The hardware is a IBM BladeCenter HS20 (8843L1U). ifconfig says "no carrier" (see below). (Networking does work when it running aother non-BSD operating system.) Running FreeBSD 6.1 RC2 with GENERIC plus kernel configuration: options BGE_FAKE_AUTONEG When this extra kernel option is in place, the link light goes from solid to off. The dmesg output says: pci5: <PCI bus> on pcib3 bge0: <Broadcom BCM5704S Dual Gigabit Ethernet, ASIC rev. 0x2100> mem 0xdcff0000-0xdcffffff irq 77 at device 1.0 on pci5 bge0: Ethernet address: 00:14:5e:3d:9d:dc bge1: <Broadcom BCM5704S Dual Gigabit Ethernet, ASIC rev. 0x2100> mem 0xdcfe0000-0xdcfeffff irq 78 at device 1.1 on pci5 bge1: Ethernet address: 00:14:5e:3d:9d:dd pci0: <base peripheral> at device 8.0 (no driver attached) pcib4: <MPTable PCI-PCI bridge> at device 28.0 on pci0 (I don't have the rest of the dmesg output. The system has no network access. The above dmesg section is same as seen on http://wiki.bsdforen.de/index.php/FreeBSD_On_IBM_Blade with MAC addresses different.) ifconfig shows: bge0: flags=8802<UP,BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 options=9b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM> ether 00:14:5e:3d:9d:dc media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseSX <full-duplex>) status: no carrier bge1: flags=8802<UP,BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 options=9b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM> ether 00:14:5e:3d:9d:dd media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseSX <full-duplex>) status: no carrier (Hopefully I didn't make any typos. I can provide screenshots if needed.)

Reed p.s. I don't have physical access to this hardware, so I am getting info from the admin.
