An ifconfig says 'no carrier'. Do you have a better idea than "between 6.1 and 6.2" as to when it broke? There was a fair amount of work on bge in that time so knowing CVSup dates or revisions could be useful. What speed switch are you using? Auto-negotiate or hard-wired? If you have a managed switch, does switching between hard-wires and auto-negotiate have any effect? I have an older bge (BCM5705 A3 NIC/PHY) running 6.2 and the initial ifconfig (during rc.d processing) normally reports "no carrier" but it recovers in a second or so (it's OK by the time ntpdate wants the network). I presume you find that ifconfig is still reporting no carrier once it's in multi-user mode. --=20 Peter Jeremy --z6Eq5LdranGa6ru8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFFvcFV/opHv/APuIcRArt8AKCQ0EJa2dQJdJCMErlhnBoPpNBqOgCgiYkD b62MRuWlWg7oKGRYdVR25ZQ= =25m0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --z6Eq5LdranGa6ru8--
