Sorry for the confusion Pyun,

I started looking at it in the context of pfsense, but they rejected my bug report which was understandable because it's an upstream issue. They suggested I resubmit it to you guys if I could reproduce it. So I booted FreeBSD and lo and behold the same two ports failed in exactly the same way. I didn't see the point in re-running all the tests because I was assuming that FreeBSD would work as well as pfsense for the ports that worked, and there were no further tests I could think of for the dead ports.

This Atom board only has serial headers not a DB9 on the back, so I have to look for the proper back panel adapter for that. Otherwise I should be able to set up that test environment. Though it might take me a couple of days, sorry it's crunch time for me on a volunteer project. One which I would like to deploy routers like this on. :-)

    Thanks,
    Clif

State-Changed-Why:
The information you gave looks confusing to me.
If you're using pfSense on Atom D510MO and seeing the issue I'm
afraid I'm not able to help that. pfSense may have some local
changes and I'm not familiar with that.
Did you try stock FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE on Atom D510MO?
If you still see the same issue with stock FreeBSD 9.1-REELASE,
could you setup remote debugging environment mentioned in the
following URL?

Given that dc(4) works fine with Dell machines I guess the issue
may be in pci(4) which can't correctly handle device sits behind
PCI-PCI bridge.

Note, Holland Consulting's document does not apply to FreeBSD.
dc(4) can handle multiple instances of dc(4) and should be able to
support dual/quad port dc(4) controllers.
