Ok, I realized that I forgot to upload a couple of files to http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/Broadcom/4.x yesterday. The brgphy driver needs an updated version of the miidevs file, and the ones generated from it. I have placed these on the web site along with all the other stuff. In addition to the steps I mentioned yesterday for installing the driver, you'll need to copy the updated miidevs files to /sys/dev/mii. Also: if you're going to perform tests, please tell me everything about how you do them. Tell me what hardware you're using. Tell me exactly which card you have. Tell me what software you're using to perform tests. If you observe a problem, don't evaluate it for me: just tell me what you see and let me work it out. I don't want to hear people say "it drops packets." Tell me how you observed the packets being dropped. I'm going to cook up a -current version of the code presently.
