Hey Bucky, I'm not sure if you tried this driver yet (http://yogurt.org/FreeBSD/if_bce.c), but it resolved my mbuf issue on a 1950. Good luck! -------------------------------- Bret J.

I did notice however that remote keyboard/mouse support works fine in Knoppix (v.5)- not sure if that's useful information for anyone. The bce0 mbuf issue is more of a concern for me, but I'd be happy to do what I can to help get the issue fixed as well since I happen to have the hardware available to me. Thanks, Bucky -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Sam Eaton Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2006 11:01 AM To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Remote keyboard on Dell DRAC 5 and FreeBSD 6.1 I'm testing a Dell 1950, with a DRAC 5 remote access card in it. The DRAC card mostly works fine, and allows me access to the keyboard remotely during boot, but stops working after the kernel is loaded. A locally attached USB keyboard works fine (the server doesn't have a PS/2 connector at all). I've read the archives, and I don't think I'm alone in having issues with this, but I've not been able to find a solution so far. I can see that the DRAC keyboard is detected, and that kbdmux appears to be working, but nothing actually gets through from the DRAC keyboard. I've had a bit of a fiddle with things like the atkbd driver hints from the boot loader, but I'm not getting any joy. Anyone got one of these working, or got any suggestions for extra debugging I can do to help someone help me solve this?
