DragonFly is missing a mii_phy_update() function so I wrote an
rge_phy_update() replacement. I'm not sure this is 100% correct.
The card would not auto-negotiate a 1Gbit connection. I increased the
auto-negotiation interval to 17 seconds from five which solved the
problem.
I still use 5 sec as interval value in the updated patch. It works
fine with my TP-Link 1000M switch. Pleae let me know if it does not
work for your re(4)
I've installed and tested your patch and everything is working as
expected. I have two RealTek 8169S cards connected via a crossover cable
and have not been able to reproduce the auto-negotiation issues I was
experiencing previously with my patch. (At 5 seconds the negotiation
process would restart before it had a chance to complete causing a loop.)
I've found the links to the commits that change the auto-negotiation
timeout to 17 seconds for gigE cards. This is the setting used by other
gigE drivers such as nsgphy.c and is why I tried this value.
nsgphy.c Revision 1.1.2.2
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/mii/nsgphy.c
Minimal patch to get NetGear622 talking to cisco gigE switches.
mii_physubr.c Revision 1.16
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/mii/mii_physubr.c
Increase gigE negotiation timeout to 17 seconds.
10 seconds is not enough to negotiate a gigE link with a cisco switch
which holds carrier off for several seconds between tries.
