I have another system with the same board that got the same problem last Fall when I upgraded from 5.4 to 6.0 or 6.1. The problem this time was on 6.2. I have another one of these boards running on a system with 5.4 without issue at gigabit speed. It appears that something happened in the bge driver from 5.x to 6.x at gigabit speeds, at least with some of the supported chipsets. Chad ---- Have you considered hard-setting the speed/duplex to 1000/Full instead of 100/Full? There may be some issues in the autonegotiation happening between switch and server. We used to see some of this early on in inter-vendor GigE connections; perhaps the switch vendor and the FreeBSD devels are reading the standards differently.
