Thank you, I think this will solve my problem, but I have no idea how to proceed. I assume I need to recompile the kernel and swap out the new if_bge.c file for the one included with the OS. Is that correct? I've looked briefly at docs and some how-to's but haven't seen any specific instructions. If anyone knows of some documentation for this, a pointer would be appreciated. thanks again. > > > > ifconfig output looks normal, dmesg provides: > > == > > bge0 at pci4 dev 0 function 0 "Broadcom BCM5754" rev 0x02, BCM5787 A2 > > (0xb002): > > irq 10, address 00:1a:a0:24:03:ef > > brgphy0 at bge0 phy 1: BCM5787 10/100/1000baseT PHY, rev.0 > > == > > Pointers, etc. would be a big help. > > > > Thanks, > > > > --charlie > > > > -- > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Charles Farinella > > Appropriate Solutions, Inc.
