Re: bsd broadcom netxtreme 57xx compatibility
2009/9/9, Niklas Rosencrantz nikla...@gmail.com: Greetings with thanks to all responsible for a very desirable bsd. I'm a python/java/C user and scripter looking to setup a 2nd dragonfly bsd for basic usage where the first installation went perfectly, must now for a 2nd slightly different hw disable ACPI to complete boot since otherwise it stops at paralell port, which I don't have, detection. The network my rationale is to get online is offline, where same config with another laptop's slightly different hardware same brand works fine (though leaving learning to do such as X config for nonroot and learning app adding and path updating) and this computer, 2nd in a small network where ifconfig outputs bge0: flags=UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 options=1bRXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING ether [ip6 address] media:Ethernet autoselect (100baseT full-duplex) status:active pciconv -lv and dmesg output can be useful.

Case classique closed s'il vous plait, after physical reconnection bypassed network switch straight ethernet no local network, very unscientific, just worked and ping returns which speculatively might ISP caused cutting and countdowning RD from max 4 downto 3 allowed. Will look further, many thanks for usable info beyond the scope and so learn more general basic admin tasks always good for 2 newbie dragonflies here. best with thanks to all bsd team and community for fun,utility,pleasure,supportive support and never giving in what we always knew would work and if nothing else just encouragement Niklas
