Thanks for your answer Carlos.

I try to do same but still doesn't have network after hot reboot and still 
have message: bce0: /usr/src/sys/modules/bce/../../dev/bce/if_bce.c(1386); 
Unable to write CTX....

Here is what I do :
- get back source from dvd
- Remove MII and bce from my kernel configuration file
- make new kernel (make buildkernel)
- install new kernel ( make installkernel)
- add yes to if_bce on loader.conf
- do make then make install on "/usr/src/sys/modules/bce"
halt system; shutdown power; boot=> ok
Reboot => unable to wriet ctx.... ;=(

Any Idea of what to do to make it work?
My config is : DELL R710 with Freebsd 7.2 AMD64 Release.

Thanks for your help.

Eric.

Eric,

We made the driver a loadable module and it seems to work. It is a
temporary workaround.

I mean :
I have a dell R710 with four : bce: <Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5709
1000Base-T (C0) card.
While running FreeBSD AMD64 7.2-RELEASE I sometimes got strange message
from
bce but main problem is that if I do a soft reboot (just typing reboot)
I
then have lots of message like : "if_bce.c Unable to write CTX memory"
and
then no more network acces.
To make it work again I don't have other solution that do a cold reboot
(unplug power).
I saw other people speaking of this but never find solution.
Is there a way to make it work without changing network card?
