Hi,
Have recently got an HP Compaq dc7600 to be used as DHCP Server.
OpenBSD 3.8 install couldn't properly work with the Broadcom BCM5752 NIC!
The Error says:
bge0: firmware handshake timed out
After installation was complete, now each time I reboot the system it takes a
long
time for the system to boot. It waits during initial boot and a second time
while
trying to configure the NIC with IP parameters, until it times out (both times
with the same error as above).
After the boot process is complete the NIC works!! I mean I can ping the box.
I haven't tested the throughput of the NIC though.
Here is an excerpt from dmesg:
# dmesg | grep bge
bge0 at pci2 dev 0 function 0 "Broadcom BCM5752" rev 0x01, BCM5752 A1 (0x6001):
irq 10bge0: firmware handshake timed out
brgphy0 at bge0 phy 1: BCM5752 10/100/1000baseT PHY, rev. 0
bge0: firmware handshake timed out
#
And here is an excerpt from "man brgphy":
DESCRIPTION
The brgphy driver supports Broadcom BCM5400 100/1000TX Ethernet PHY in-
terfaces, as well as the BCM5401, BCM5411, BCM5421S, BCM5701, BCM5703,
BCM5704, BCM5705, BCM5714, BCM5750 and BCM5752 10/100/1000baseTX Ethernet
PHY interfaces.
I would greatly appreciate any help?
Amir
