Re: Broadcom BCM5752 NIC
Thanks everybody for helpful hints. Dear Brad, This morning downloaded the latest i386 snapshot and installed it. Although I still get the error message firmware handshake timed out, but after the machine boots, the NIC speed is OK. Thanks for your engagement. Regards, Amir

Re: Broadcom BCM5752 NIC
I'm not sure about the level of support for this card in OpenBSD (this says more about the level of support by Broadcomm for Open Source operating systems development effort). The bge driver does support some of that range of cards but I can't say if that one specifically is supported. - if it uses it's own unique PCIID then it is definitely missing support in the bge driver (since it isn't listed in the pci_matchid structure (bge_devices) table for that driver [-current cvs checked also]). You could possible compare functionality against one of the other cards and try adding a PCIID for it if it's close enough to one of the others.. (you are obviously into full testing etc. if you do adopt this approach). It's sad to say though that the card may not be supported without a lot more work though... if anyone else has this card working then please correct me. In the http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html page I found the following phrase which I have to say I enjoyed very much but you may of course get less enjoyment from it.. sorry.

Broadcom BCM5752 NIC
Hi, Have recently got an HP Compaq dc7600 to be used as DHCP Server. OpenBSD 3.8 install couldn't properly work with the Broadcom BCM5752 NIC! The Error says: bge0: firmware handshake timed out After installation was complete, now each time I reboot the system it takes a long time for the system to boot. It waits during initial boot and a second time while trying to configure the NIC with IP parameters, until it times out (both times with the same error as above). After the boot process is complete the NIC works!! I mean I can ping the box. I haven't tested the throughput of the NIC though. Here is an excerpt from dmesg: # dmesg | grep bge bge0 at pci2 dev 0 function 0 Broadcom BCM5752 rev 0x01, BCM5752 A1 (0x6001): irq 10bge0: firmware handshake timed out brgphy0 at bge0 phy 1: BCM5752 10/100/1000baseT PHY, rev. 0 bge0: firmware handshake timed out # And here is an excerpt from man brgphy: DESCRIPTION The brgphy driver supports Broadcom BCM5400 100/1000TX Ethernet PHY in- terfaces, as well as the BCM5401, BCM5411, BCM5421S, BCM5701, BCM5703, BCM5704, BCM5705, BCM5714, BCM5750 and BCM5752 10/100/1000baseTX Ethernet PHY interfaces. I would greatly appreciate any help? Amir
Re: Broadcom BCM5752 NIC
Actually the NIC doesn't work properly. I can ssh to the box, but even output of a simple ls command takes seconds to appear on the screen, and gets interrupted in between. Does anyone know of any patch for this? Here is the output of ifconfig: # ifconfig -a lo0: flags=8049UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 33224 groups: lo inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff00 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 bge0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 lladdr 00:15:60:4f:22:e4 groups: egress media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active inet 172.22.11.235 netmask 0xfc00 broadcast 172.22.11.255 inet6 fe80::215:60ff:fe4f:22e4%bge0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 pflog0: flags=0 mtu 33224 pfsync0: flags=0 mtu 1348 enc0: flags=0 mtu 1536 Thanks for any assistance.

Re: Broadcom BCM5752 NIC
Try a -current snapshot. Some important bge(4) fixes went into the tree after 3.8. On 2/2/06, Badbanchi Hossein [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Actually the NIC doesn't work properly.

I would try current first, as in the last two days there was a lots of work and still some is going on now that may actually address your problem, but without proper testing and dmesg send back with the latest current, that's not going to help much now. Trust me, it's worth the time to test and send the feedback. I can tell you that in my case, it wasn't working two days ago and now I saturate my switch big time! So, do your share and test, you will love the results. It's worth to invest some of your time if you care about your results. Daniel
