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
