>Description:
Our company recently bought a log of 1950 and 2950. Some of them we installed FreeBSD 6.2 and 6.3. But we found all of them second lan port also have problem. The real case is. we installed a apache server in 1950 and mysql server in 2950. and both of them expect to use the second lan port to communication. but we got a super bad result from this setting.

After that we test all FreeBSD servers at a command 'scp somefile.tmp username@secondLanIP'. All FreeBSD servers got same bad behavior. So we think that is the Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T 0.9.6 problem on second lan port. The anohter point is we are working fine with freebsd if only if we use the first lan port.


>How-To-Repeat:
ALL FreeBSD Server on Dell 1950 and 2950 have same problem on Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T 0.9.6 driver
>Fix:
Don't know. because Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T 0.9.6 driver seems already newest.
