Connected back to back w/ another box w/ a GigE NIC, it now does 1000baseTX: igb0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=19b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4> ether 00:30:48:c5:db:e2 inet6 fe80::230:48ff:fec5:dbe2%igb0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 192.168.70.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.70.255 media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active But still not without problems. I hafta ifconfig down/up it several times until I can see the other end. W/c is the same for igb1. > [snip] -- cheers mars _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
