The fact that your interfaces are found though seems to point to the
fact that things are not configured properly, network-wise. Are you
sure the network settings you're providing are correct, or that the
actual NICs themselves have a solid link to a switch and are working?


After a reboot and solving an id10t problem, it's working fine now.  Sorry 
I bothered the list.

Does anyone have these NICs working?  If so, what driver did you use?

unknown ethernet card

I'm beginning the install of 6.1 RELEASE on a Dell 1950.  It uses Dual 
Embedded Broadcom NetXtreme II 5708 Gigabit Ethernet NICs, and they are 
not correctly recognized during the install.  The system identifies them 
as bce0 and bce1, but apparently the driver isn't working right.
