Hi list,
I'm using FreeBSD 6.2 on a IBM x236 dual Xeon server. This device has
two network interfaces working with the bge driver.
pciconf -v -l output:
bge0@pci2:1:0: class=0x020000 card=0x026f1014 chip=0x16a714e4 rev=0x02
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
device = 'BCM5703X NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
bge1@pci2:2:0: class=0x020000 card=0x026f1014 chip=0x16a714e4 rev=0x02
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
device = 'BCM5703X NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
My problem is using both interfaces at the same time. If I will give
them both an ip address in the rc.conf with:
ifconfig_bge0="192.168.0.210/24"
ifconfig_bge0_alias0="10.0.2.1/32"
ifconfig_bge0_alias1="10.0.2.2/32"
ifconfig_bge0_alias2="10.0.2.10/32"
ifconfig_bge1="192.168.1.10/24"
the system won't come up properly. I can see the messages:
bge0: link state changed to DOWN
bge1: link state changed to DOWN
The system is hanging at this state forever. I have to do a hard reset.
If I don't assign bge1 an ip address the system is coming up.
If I boot in safe mode the system is coming up, too.
Plugging out all the cables or booting with ACPI disabled won't work.
If I change the rc.conf to:
ifconfig_bge0="192.168.0.210/24 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex"
[...]
ifconfig_bge1="192.168.1.10/24 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex"
interface bge0 will come up (and is ping-able) but system will hang at bge1:
bge0: link state changed to DOWN
bge0: link state changed to UP
bge1: link state changed to DOWN
Any ideas whats wrong here? How can I investigate further? Why does it
work in safe mode?
Thanks,
Matthias
