However, the pciconf database claims it is a "BCM5750A1". Which one is correct? I suspect the latter. I have PR's open on resolving this inconsistency, but they are obviously low priority. I have no problems with the delay in the 'active' status, but I hard- code IP configuration since it is a server. --Apple-Mail-8--629881116--
