has anyone got the above gigabit ethernet working with freebsd 4.10 ?


upgrading to 4.11-RELEASE solved the problem. there were more special code 
handling functions to be added, other than just adding in the PCI IDs into 
if_bge.c and if_bgereg.h.

Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5751M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express and FreeBSD 4.10

2005-10-13 Thread Dinesh Nair


has anyone got the above gigabit ethernet working with freebsd 4.10 ?

patching sys/dev/bge/if_bge.c and sys/dev/bge/if_bgereg.h with the device
and vendor IDs in the proper places doesnt seem to work, though the entries
exist in the same files in the 4.11 sources. a mailing list search shows it
working fine on the ibm t43 notebooks but on freebsd 5.4 instead. however,
as mentioned above, RELENG_4 sources contain the device id for the
BCM5751M, so i'd assume it'd work there too.

there seems to be no special handling of this device in the code, so
getting it to work on 4.10 (as opposed to 4.11R) would be as simple as
adding in the same device ids. or so i thought.

pciconf -l -v yields

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0:0: class=0x02 card=0x0944103c chip=0x167d14e4 rev=0x11
hdr=0x0
vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
class = network
subclass = ethernet

and a kldload if_bge returns (after patching in device id):

bge0:  mem
0xc800-0xc800 irq 10 at device 0.0 on pci16
bge0: firmware handshake timed out
bge0: RX CPU self-diagnostics failed!
bge0: chip initialization failed
device_probe_and_attach: bge0 returned 6

the notebook is a HP nc6230.

i've seen this happen on an Asus 1400R 1U rackmount server, P3 1Ghz, dual
intel etherexpress pro (fxp devices), 4GB RAM. thru trial and error i
tracked it down to apm causing it. disabling apm has not shown a
recurrence of the hang. however in my case, when it hung, everything froze
except the box still responded to pings. telnet, ssh or any other network
service wasnt responding however, just icmp.

which would be a nice thing to have dont you think ? at least for stuff
which requires a buildworld to fix. nevertheless, its not too big a deal,
just caused some consternation on my side when it happenned.

i saw this with sendmail when i bumped up to 4.3R. the fix there was to
recompile sendmail without IPv6. however telnet and others worked the way
the were supposed to.

fixed this. libssl was trying to read /dev/urandom, but this was
originally set as mode 0600 with root as the owner, so it silently
died. chmod go+r /dev/urandom and https: on konqueror works like a charm.

now question is if openssl is reading /dev/urandom instead of /dev/random
or if the perms on /dev/urandom were wrong to begin with.
