Re: Broadcom NetXtreme II BMC5708 no carrier

IIRC, there is some problems with the driver in FreeBSD for these network cards. My guess is you've got a newer Dell server? Your only real option is to install a different network card.

Hello

We have problem with Broadcom NetXtreme II BMC5708 on our blade
server.

ifconfig bce0 report:

bce0: flags=8847<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=3b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU>
inet 172.0.0.199 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.0.0.255
ether 00:1a:64:33:29:c7

status: no carrier


Try to set
#ifconfig bce0 media 1000baseSX mediaopt full-duplex

bce0: flags=8847<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=3b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU>
inet 172.0.0.199 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.0.0.255
ether 00:1a:64:33:29:c7
media: Ethernet 1000baseSX <full-duplex> (none)
status: no carrier


Status don't want change to active, and nothing work :(

FreeBSD 6.3-PRERELEASE (7.x have problem too)

Is any idea?
