Thanks - I do have a somewhat similar model (a 6800 I think it is) that I could possibly test with - I believe it has the same NIC (but doesn't have a RAID controller, so I can't test that).

We run a 2600, which has one PERC3 raid and 2 Xeons (although I think our PERC is based on another chipset), and then two PowerEdge 1xxx (I think a 1650 and a 1750. I can't remember off the top of my head). Do you have a test box with that NIC in it? Sometimes I've found that G4U has issues with the Broadcom controllers. There are other options too, if G4U doesn't work.

However, I can't find any references to g4u being used with this model. I did find a few random references to the individual components having drivers included with NetBSD itself, but that's about it, so I wanted to confirm - hopefully someone here has a better idea. (It's a production system, so I can't just "try it".) The major components in question are: - 4 x Xeon processors - 2 x PERC 3/DC RAID controllers (AMI-chipset-based, I believe) - Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit ethernet controllers It's an older model, so I would think it should all work, but I'd hate to schedule downtime and find I'm up a creek :) Thanks in advance, Glenn Mabbutt ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
