Hi. I have just installed 6.2 RC1 on my new blade. The (optional) mezzanine-card NC326m is seen as bge. My problem is that there is no link. I installed ubuntu 6.10 which gets link and ping works so the hardware setup itself is ok. Ubuntu sees the nic as as 5714 chip rev. 9003 ( Tigon3 [partno(011276-001) rev 9003 PHY(5714)] ). During FreeBSD's boot the nic is seen as a BCM5714 unknown. Rev. 9003 is not in if_bgereg.h so I added #define BGE_CHIPID_BCM5714_B4 0x90030000 and recompiled the kernel but it did not give me my missing link. Partial pciconf -lv shows chip=0x167914e4 which is #define BCOM_DEVICEID_BCM5715S 0x1679 in if_bgereg.h. I only have one mezzanine-card atm. and I need to get the blade up and running in a few days so I will probably throw ubuntu on it. I will get more mezzanine-cards and can continue testing the bge-driver in the coming days. I won't mind digging into the bge-driver myself but will need some hand-holding and some pointers/examples to get started. According to HP's website the mezzanine-card has a 5715 chip but FreeBSD (and ubuntu) sees it as 5714. Are these two chips closely related? regards Claus
