I've recently upgraded to a 100base switch and put all of our main servers on it. Some of the servers are running FreeBSD 3.2r with a Qlogic 1040b controller on the MB (DEC 300i+ workstations). Problem I am having is that they refuse to negotiate at 100base on powerup or reboot. I added a 'ifconfig de0 media 100BaseTX' to the rc.conf for them, and while I have a green light on the switch, until I ifconfig down, then up the interface, it is not active. My 3.1 boxes seem somewhat more tollerant to this problem. I've put new cables in to be sure they were not an issue. I also have several MS NT4 machines on the same hardware which do not have any problems at all, which leads me to believe it's unique to this paticular driver....Are there any updates to this driver and/or changes I can make to fix this? Otherwise I'm stuck with a machine that is unable to have an unattended reboot or I run at 10Base again. Please cc me in any replies as I'm not on this list.
