Hi guys, I just got on my hands today a NEHALEM system: 2 x 5560 Nehalem CPU (2.8GHz, 8MB cache memory, 6.4GT/sec [QPI]) 12GB 1333Mhz DDR3 Memory 1 x 500GB SATA HDD FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE/amd64 install fine, however I seemed to be having problems w/ its built-in Intel NICs: igb0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=19b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4> ether 00:30:48:c5:db:e2 inet6 fe80::230:48ff:fec5:dbe2%igb0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active igb1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=19b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4> ether 00:30:48:c5:db:e3 inet6 fe80::230:48ff:fec5:dbe3%igb1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 172.17.32.32 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 172.17.255.255 media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active The first NIC would always want 100baseTX no matter how I'd ifconfig down/up it, so I just had to use the 2nd NIC. Unfortunately, this too is having problems. Like being unable to 'see' some machines on the same network segment. Some other machines are accessible. And yes I've double-checked the network stuff (cables, switch, IP settings) and my conclusion is b0rky NICs. pciconf -lvc: igb0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x10c915d9 chip=0x10c98086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' class = network subclass = ethernet cap 01[40] = powerspec 3 supports D0 D3 current D0 cap 05[50] = MSI supports 1 message, 64 bit, vector masks cap 11[70] = MSI-X supports 10 messages in map 0x1c enabled cap 10[a0] = PCI-Express 2 endpoint igb1@pci0:1:0:1: class=0x020000 card=0x10c915d9 chip=0x10c98086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' class = network subclass = ethernet cap 01[40] = powerspec 3 supports D0 D3 current D0 cap 05[50] = MSI supports 1 message, 64 bit, vector masks cap 11[70] = MSI-X supports 10 messages in map 0x1c enabled cap 10[a0] = PCI-Express 2 endpoint So anyone else having igb problems? I'm downloading 200812-CURRENT now (is tehre gonna be a 200901-CURRENT ISO soon? :-p), I'd like to try that, but checking cvs seem only a handful of changes. Also I did some buildworlds: make -j8 buildworld 2846.900u 2266.188s 15:50.43 537.9% 6375+2082k 10084+7937io 1482pf+0w make -j16 buildworld 3518.254u 2175.593s 14:23.29 659.5% 6656+2147k 26165+8546io 4300pf+0w make -j32 buildworld 3582.897u 4437.710s 18:03.88 739.9% 6528+2125k 5725+7930io 1555pf+0w Verbose dmesg: http://pastebin.com/f5f799561 Thanks! -- cheers mars
