Synopsis: Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5704s brgphy not detected on Nexicon Blade server State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: wpaul State-Changed-When: Wed Jun 9 16:02:26 GMT 2004 State-Changed-Why: The BCM5704 appears to have some special (and undocumented) registers that have to be set to properly advertise flow control ability when autonegotiating with a switch in TBI/fiber mode. I added code to the bge(4) driver to set these registers during autoneg, and the link seems to be properly negotiated now, and traffic is exchanged correctly. A patch for this problem is available at http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/bge.diff. This patch has been supplied to the submitter and checked in to the FreeBSD-current sources. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=67598
