>Number: 67598 >Category: kern >Synopsis: Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5704s brgphy not detected on Nexicon Blade server >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sat Jun 05 03:20:09 PDT 2004 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Luuk van Dijk >Release: 5.0 upto 5.2.1 >Organization: Mind over Matter B.V. >Environment: 5.2.1 install cd with generic kernel, fixit shell, no uname available >Description: on the Nexicon Blade server, equipped with Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5704s, the bge driver detects both interfaces, but not the miibus/brgphy interfaces (as it does on another server that I have which has 2x BCM5703) in the fixit shell, both bge0 and bge1 show up with ifconfig, and with the correct mac address. assigning an ip address changes the state from 'no carrier' to 'activeŽ, but the interface cannot be pinged from another computer on the same net, nor is any packet sent out when I try to install over NFS. a driver written by broadcom for 4.2, 'if_bc.c' exists, which works fine under 4.8, so the hardware is correct. also, I can pxeboot over bootp/tftp/nfs. unfortunately this driver is incompatible with the 5.x architecture. >How-To-Repeat: boot the install image, start fixit shell, ifconfig bge0 192.168.1.1, ping from another machine on the same net. try to install from NFS, watch the net with tcpdump. observe the absence of traffic. >Fix: (probably in the bgrphy probe code) >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
