Hi,

I am trying to bring up gigabit interface in couple of Nexcom blade servers running FreeBSD/amd64. The interfaces (two Marvell Yukon 88E8062 controllers) are recognized properly, but no media is ever detected:

> ifconfig
msk0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=11a<TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,TSO4>
        ether 00:10:f3:0d:d6:45
        media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
        status: no carrier
msk1: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=11a<TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,TSO4>
        ether 00:10:f3:0d:d6:46
        media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
        status: no carrier

I tried manual setting of media - but the driver won't allow me to set 1000baseSX link (this is what other blades in the same chasis with working em driver are reporting).

# ifconfig msk0 media 1000baseSX
ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA (media): Device not configured

I'm puzzled here: are there known limitations in the driver wrt support of certain media types?

Here is pciconf -lv information if it helps...

mskc0@pci0:3:0:0:       class=0x020000 card=0x628211ab chip=0x434711ab rev=0x14 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Marvell Semiconductor (Was: Galileo Technology Ltd)'
    device     = 'Yukon 88E8062 PCI-E IPMI Gigabit Ethernet Controller'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet

This is on 7.0-RELEASE on amd64. I also tried kernel from 7-STABLE from few days ago, but the problem was still present.
