Okay so at least we know it's not specific to your switch, or to auto-neg nor the cabling (two different switches + boxes with the same problem probably isn't your fault. :) ). That's definitely evidence that it's a driver problem, probably specific to the 5704 (since I have two machines using 5750s without this problem). Looks like we'll need someone with the Broadcom data sheet for the 5704 to help out. There's also the Bill Paul and David Christensen (who worked on bce(4), but might know of some details here...) -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
