--=-N489thMbaCvejvCVVXTl Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable A note from clusteradm@freebsd.org=20 It looks like there is some amount of instability or bugginess in some of the Broadcom firmware(management) on the bce(4) chipeset shipped on later generations of the Poweredge 2950 from Dell: bce0: <Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T (B2)> Specifically, we've seen that newer (9 and higher) have issues with the doing initial setup and negotiation and that Dell did indeed release newer firmware to fix the issues. This requires a full reboot into Linux (probably centos6) to get the update to execute.
