Errors found in Freebsd
Good day, Firstly I like to say that I believe the developers are doing a standup job and that Freebsd is but the best of the best. I have however one little problem. There is an issue with Broadcom nic (bge) on the dell 2650 machines that are constantly running Ierrs. The bce,em,xl or any other card connected to a server patched to the same switch has no errors only that card. I have logged a fault on your site for this already but I have received no response and it has been quite some time. Is there anyone I can contact in this regard?

I'm assuming that you aren't a regular member of this list, before anyone can help you we need the following: 1) What version of FreeBSD are you running? (uname -a) 2) What EXACT model of Dell server are you working with here? (The words Oh hell its a Dell come to mind) 3) We need a hardware spec. dump from this machine. (dmesg) 4) Mail me off list I'm in Sandton and might be able to help. Note: Logging a fault on the website will liably get you no response without items 1 - 3. FreeBSD, much like most OpenSource UNIX-like OSs, is not a commercial product and you are not a paying customer, therefor you need to take part in the community when things like this happen. PS: I'm not trying to be confrontational, even if I looks like I might be, just trying to make any further activities on this list as enjoyable and productive as possible for you. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

AUTHORS The bge driver was written by Bill Paul [EMAIL PROTECTED]. on my machine bge runs fine, but i heard that some broadcom chip revisions are buggy. maybe it's yours, or maybe driver bug. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The bce,em,xl or any Yea -- call Dell and ask them why they started shipping crappy chips in the 9th gen. Probably to sell lots of PCI-E dual port addon cards, which is my suggestion to anyone who lives or dies by PowerEdge. -- Brian A. Seklecki [EMAIL PROTECTED] Collaborative Fusion, Inc.
