Need help troubleshooting NIC
Over the weekend one my servers went down due to extended power failure. The file system reports clean, but something has gone sideways with networking. The server is a Dell 2950 running 7.0 release, and it's been working fine for well over a year. It uses the BCE driver. Ifconfig shows it to be up and active and configured with the correct IP, mask and gateway, but I can't ping anything. I've tested the ethernet connection with a nearby machine and it works. I also booted the 2950 from an Ubuntu live CD and the NIC worked, so i don't think it's a hardware issue. Is there a way I can rebuild the driver without having to rebuild the kernel? -- Michael Galvez Information Technology Specialist University of Virginia ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

The machine is back online, but I beginning to think that maybe the nics are flaky after all. netstat -r Routing tables Internet: DestinationGatewayFlagsRefs Use Netif Expire defaultcarruthers1-all-ro UGS 0 498375 bce0 localhost localhost UH 0 270lo0 128.143.87.0 link#1 UC 00 bce0 carruthers1-all-ro 00:d0:05:34:40:00 UHLW20 bce0 1197 Segmentation fault -- Michael Galvez Information Technology Specialist University of Virginia ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
