We just purchased an HP Proliant DL320 G6, a 1U server with two Broadcom NI=
Cs. When configured as standalone interfaces, the two NICs work fine. Howev=
er, when configured as a failover lagg pair, we cannot assign an IP to the =
lagg0 interface. We are using the following entry in our rc.conf file:

ifconfig_lagg0=3D"laggproto failover laggport bge0 laggport bge1 dhcp"

This same setup works fine on our other 1U servers, the difference being th=
at they have nVidia NICS instead of Broadcom (nfe instead of bge). Does any=
one know if there is a driver patch for the Broadcom NICs that will solve t=
his lagg issue? We are running a 7.0 system.
