Sounds like an out-of-date bnx driver, or a driver that doesn't
support GLDv3.
But, this is a Solaris 10 question. You can try out OpenSolaris if
you like to see if it performs better -- the bnx driver was
integrated a build or two ago. (If you have the same problems with
OpenSolaris then we'll definitely be interested.)
BNX is not opensourced yet.
Otherwise, your best bet is to contact your Sun service rep for
Solaris 10 support.

Hi.
We have a Dell 1950 from last August that we need to install Solaris
10 on. It has a Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet network card
in it and is attached to a gigabit switch. We have the latest
drivers for the Broadcom NetXtreme II card installed on the server.
After installing Solaris 10, installing the NIC driver, and
configuring the network, the server is rebooted and the following
messages related to the NIC card come up:
Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Driver v3.0.0
A good new is there will be a new version of bnx on Broadcom's website
not too far away. Please try a new version when it is released.
Currently there is not too much to do with this problem.
NOTICE: Broadcom - bnx0, BCM5708 device with F/W Ver1080000 is
initialized.
bnx0 Copper link is Up (1000 Mbps, Full Duplex, Flow Control is OFF).
NOTICE: Broadcom - bnx1, BCM5708 device with F/W Ver1080000 is
initialized.
However, when working on the server it seemed very slow to transfer
files across the network.
The output of dladm show-dev is as follows:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ #dladm show-dev
bnx0 link: unknown speed: 1 Mbps duplex: unknown
bnx1 link: unknown speed: 0 Mbps duplex: unknown
As far as I know, this means the card is only functioning at 1 Mbps
instead of it's gigabit capability. Is this correct?
Also, I am a little confused as to why the link type and duplex are
listed as unknown.
The port on the switch has been checked to make sure it is
functioning properly (another server was plugged into it and it
worked fine), and the cable has been checked (we plugged this
server's cable into another server and it worked fine).
Normally we get the Intel NIC cards with our servers, and those have
always worked great. Can someone point me in the right direction to
figuring out what is wrong with our Broadcom card or our configuration?
Thanks
