>Environment:
FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p1 (no copy&paste available without network), sorry. If it is really relevant I will make a photo.
>Description:
Installing any (from 5.3 to 6.1) FreeBSD on a IBM Blade (HS20) the internal network interface bge (Broadcom BCM5704S Dual Gigabit Ethernet) is retrieving 1000baseSX on autoselect allthough it is connected via CAT cable. Manual "ifconfig bge0 media 1000baseT" results in "SIOCSIFMEDIA (media): Device not configured".
>How-To-Repeat:
Install FBSD on an IBM HS20 with GENERIC kernel.
>Fix:
None right now.
