My friend and I are trying to set up a Broadcom Netxtreme II NIC (57711 A0) in a BSD box, and we are having problems. Problem summary: BSD machine appears to boot healthily, and interface configures as expected using ifconfig BSD and Windows machines can ping each other, as expected BSD machine goes unreachable after first tcp packets arrive on interface, be it via SCP/SSH, HTTP/HTTPS or Iperf Ifconfig down after this hang leads to error 'client ramrod halt failed!'. Ifconfig up after ramrod failure bombards stdout with error messages (attached) seeming to indicate receive registers expected to be 0/empty have data in them. Identical error messages repeat until the device is once again ifconfig'd down UDP iperf works prior to any TCP traffic, albeit seems slower than should be. To verify hardware, the same card was tested in the same hardware environment using knoppix (7.0.4 DVD), and performed as expected using iperf with TCP.
