My machine has two nics: bge0 and re0, both of which support 1000baseTX configurations, however neither of the two seem to be able to connect when I configure them in /etc/rc.conf. Here's what works: # Internal network ifconfig_re0="inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" # No ifconfig_bge0 entry in /etc/rc.conf # because ppp configures it automatically ppp_enable="YES" ppp_mode="ddial" ppp_nat="YES" ppp_profile="myisp" After booting, ifconfig yields this: bge0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 options=1a inet6 fe80::211:11ff:febd:be3a%bge0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:11:11:bd:be:3a media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active re0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 options=1b inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 inet6 fe80::240:f4ff:feb4:841a%re0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 ether 00:40:f4:b4:84:1a media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active plip0: flags=108810 mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 tun0: flags=8051 mtu 1492 inet x.x.x.x --> y.y.y.y netmask 0xffffffff Opened by PID 211 Notice that bge0 media is 10baseT/UTP and re0 is 100baseTX Here's what DOESN'T work: (may wrap) ifconfig_re0="inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 media 1000baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" ifconfig_bge0="media 1000baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" # No inet or netmask in ifconfig_bge0, as it is assumed ppp will supply this. When I reboot and run ifconfig, both of these interfaces have "status: no carrier" Does anyone have experience configuring either of these Nics? And, especially, what sort of config options can I use to exploit the faster connect speed on the pppOe interface? Thanks! lane
