>Release:        5.3-RELEASE
>Organization:
Sun Microsystems, Inc
>Environment:
Don't have output but running on dual opterons freebsd 5.3 release (amd64) 1gb memory
>Description:
This is similar to what I am seeing during bootup of FreeBSD:

bge0: <Broadcom BCM5705M Dual Gigabit Ethernet, ASIC rev. 0x3001> mem
0x90000000-0x9000ffff irq 11 at device 14.0 on pci2
bge0: firmware handshake timed out
bge0: RX CPU self-diagnostics failed!
bge0: chip initialization failed
device_probe_and_attach: bge0 attach returned 6


However, I do have Solaris successfully running on the machine, and it thinks its not a BCM750x series card:


Mar 28 14:04:36 tornado bge: [ID 801725 kern.warning] WARNING: bge0: 5705-based

1653@b


Just for curiosity sake, I tried increasing the TIMEOUT (src/sys/dev/bge/if_bgereg.h) from:

#define BGE_TIMEOUT		100000 /* 5 zeros */

to 

#define BGE_TIMEOUT		1000000 /* 6 zeros */

and still no luck. Any help will be appreciated. If you need me to test code, send the src files to dump in src/dev/bge and I can test it out.

Thanks

Shawn
>How-To-Repeat:
I am experiencing this on the MSI MASTER2-FAR motherboard (on board broadcom chipset). The MSI website says that its Broadcom BCM5705 Gigabit LAN controllers but they often make mistakes. I can't decipher the model # on the chipset itself, but if I do I will add to this report.
