No, we are not using Flex-10. This is on a HP Proliant BL460C G6
Blade. We just installed FreeBSD on the system and setup an inet
address on it. Here's an ifconfig from it after disabling rxcsum/txcsum:
bxe0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=1b8<VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4>
ether 00:26:55:xx:xx:xx
inet 192.x.x.x netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 192.x.x.x
inet6 fe80::x:x:x:x%bxe0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
media: Ethernet autoselect (10Gbase-SR <full-duplex>)
status: active
If there are settings you want me to get from the bios screen, I guess
I can go into it, but I just added "-rxcsum -txcsum" to the ifconfig line
in rc.conf, and now the system comes up fine and dosen't hang in sendmail
anymore (and DNS also works).
