Hi all, I’m trying to enable a Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet model 57765 without 
success.
The PCI ID of the board chip is: 14e4:16b4.
It seems a pretty widespread Broadcom Ethernet chip but it isn’t recognized by 
SmartOS (I’m using the release 20141225T170427Z).
This is strange because the PCI ID is defined in the source of the module (at 
the current source branch):
https://github.com/joyent/illumos-joyent/blob/release-20141225/usr/src/uts/common/io/bge/bge_hw.h
 (row116)
But is nowhere to be found in:
https://github.com/joyent/illumos-joyent/blob/release-20141225/usr/src/pkg/manifests/driver-network-bge.mf
Could be this the problem for the automatic recognition?
Anyhow this could be overcome with a manual module association:
# update_drv -a -i ‘pci14e4,16b4’ bge
2014-12-28T15:30:39.106705+00:00 unknown genunix: [ID 801725 kern.warning] 
WARNING: bge0: Device ‘pci14e4,16b4’ not recognized (5812?)
Now the interface bge0 is showing when I type:
# dladm show-phys
LINK    MEDIA   STATE   SPEED   DUPLEX  DEVICE
bge0    Ethernet        unknown 1000    full            bge0
When I plumb the device the state will also change from “unknown” to up.
Now I could assign a static IP to the interface:
# ipadm create-addr -T static -a 192.168.128.128/24 bge0/v4
This command exits without problems but when I try to ping an address on the 
same subnet:
# ping 192.168.128.1
no answer from 192.168.128.1
but if I’m pinging my address:
# ping 192.168.128.128
192.168.128.128 is alive
There is something I’m doing incorrectly?

Thanks in advance.
Michele
