From a user/admin perspective, they do not work at all. No Network link, no traffic at all. From a developers perspective, things look promising: vge0: flags=8802 metric 0 mtu 1500 options=389b ether 00:40:63:xx:xx:xx inet [...] media: Ethernet autoselect New WOL options are a proof the new driver is loaded. It detects the NIC and reads the correct Ethernet MAC address. The media indicator shows what's reality - no link. In /var/log/messages I found continuously repeating patterns of vge0: link state changed to UP vge0: watchdog timeout vge0: unable to stop Rx/Tx MAC(0x09)! vge0: soft reset timed out vge0: link state changed to DOWN Attempting to manually bring the interface down and back up did not change anything. In fact, it seems to me that the command did not make it to the hardware. Usually, the link indicators on the NIC and switch cycle off/on but this time no flickering at all. -- http://thomas.lotterer.net
