[pfSense-discussion] broadcom BCM5722 only running at 100M not 1G

2010-02-01 Thread Paul Mansfield
after complaint about slowness between our lan and dmz, I traced it to a
firewall interface on our pfsense 1.2.3 firewall, a Dell R300 with
onboard broadcom bcm5722

sullr...@freebsd_7.2_pfsense_1.2.3_snaps.pfsense.org:/usr/obj.pfSense/usr/pfSensesrc/src/sys/pfSense_SMP.7
 i386


a bit of googling came up with this
http://groups.google.com/group/mailing.freebsd.current/browse_thread/thread/4b42a0fa82125473?pli=1

I bounced the interface as suggested and it didn't help, and swapped the
cable, also no joy.

this firewall is one of a clustered pair, the 2ndry is identical
hardware and its bge0 is running fine at 1000baseT. the cisco switch
they're both plugged into doesn't suggest any errors.

stuff reported in dmesg...

bge0: Broadcom BCM5722 A0, ASIC rev. 0xa200 mem 0xdfdf-0xdfdf
irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci1

brgphy0: BCM5722 10/100/1000baseTX PHY PHY 1 on miibus0

brgphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseT,
1000baseT-FDX, auto


any suggestions please?
Paul

BTW, Nate, were you using tun or tap?

a test shows that using tap/bridging kicks off the mac's dhcp client and
that successfully sets up DNS.

I think we're going to end up building a non-pfsense (linux) box for
this as it'll be easier and we can use a lot of openvpn options that
require too much messing with custom fields in pfsense.

Sure you're using CAT5e or better cables and not just CAT5? That's the
most common cause when I run into things like that.
