I just installed 3.7 on a Dell Precision 370. During the install, I was unable to get an IP address from DHCP, but I ignored it. When I rebooted, I noticed that the "ifconfig bge0" reported "status: no carrier". I knew it had worked fine 30 minutes ago when the computer was running Windows and I hadn't touched the cable. For the hell of it, I typed "ifconfig bge0 up" and it went active. Then I did a "dhclient bge0" and got an IP address. However, after rebooting, the interface was "no carrier" again (and the same procedure would make it go up again). I've tried specifying the media and mediaopt in hostname.bge0 file to no avail.
Anyone know how to fix this? Here's a typescript from right after a reboot: Script started on Sat Jul 30 16:24:55 2005 auction# ifconfig -a lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 33224 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 bge0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 address: 00:11:11:4c:40:43 media: Ethernet 100baseTX full-duplex (none) status: no carrier pflog0: flags=0<> mtu 33224 pfsync0: flags=0<> mtu 2020 enc0: flags=0<> mtu 1536 auction# ifconfig bge0 up auction# ifconfig bge0 bge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 address: 00:11:11:4c:40:43 media: Ethernet 100baseTX full-duplex status: active inet6 fe80::211:11ff:fe4c:4043%bge0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 auction# dhclient bge0 DHCPREQUEST on bge0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPACK from 10.100.10.6 bound to 10.100.2.67 -- renewal in 345600 seconds. auction# And here is the dmesg: OpenBSD 3.7 (GENERIC) #50: Sun Mar 20 00:01:57 MST 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC cpu0: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 2.80 GHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF,PNI,MWAIT,CNXT-ID real mem = 1071796224 (1046676K) avail mem = 971493376 (948724K) using 4278 buffers containing 53694464 bytes (52436K) of memory mainbus0 (root) bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+(00) BIOS, date 08/23/04, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xffe90 apm0 at bios0: Power Management spec V1.2 apm0: APM get power status: unknown error code?
