Hi all, I'm trying to get a new FreeBSD 10.3-STABLE install to work well with my MHGH28-XTC (dual port ConnectX DDR) cards. The problem is they're coming up in eth mode, not ib mode, and I can't seem to get that fixed. :( =46rom boot: # ifconfig mlxen0: flags=3D8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 = options=3D6d07bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCS= UM,TSO4,TSO6,LRO,VLAN_HWFILTER,VLAN_HWTSO,LINKSTATE,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV= 6> ether 00:02:c9:00:ca:cd nd6 options=3D29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> media: Ethernet autoselect status: no carrier mlxen1: flags=3D8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 = options=3D6d07bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCS= UM,TSO4,TSO6,LRO,VLAN_HWFILTER,VLAN_HWTSO,LINKSTATE,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV= 6> ether 00:02:c9:00:ca:ce nd6 options=3D29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> media: Ethernet autoselect status: no carrier My loader.conf file seems like it should be correct: # cat /boot/loader.conf sys.device.mlx4_core0.mlx4_port1=3D"ib" sys.device.mlx4_core0.mlx4_port2=3D"ib" As background, this is a new install (coming from CentOS 6.x, where it all works well), so I know there's no problem with the cards. = They're plugged into a 24 port DDR switch (Voltaire ISR 9024D-M) using active optical cables. Any ideas? Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift -- "My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit.
