Hi all, i have bought 2 new dell R320 serveurs to replace my old dell 1650 servers (7 years old). The problem is network card (unfortunately the machines will be routers/gateways). I tried to backport FreeBSD 9.1 RC3 driver, which works, but not totally succesful (card recognized, link negotiation ok, but no network trafic). Moreover, only the port 1 is partially functionnal. When i make ifconfig bge1 up, a kernel panic occurs. (no problem for dual port cards with intel pro 1000 PT) Dell choose to use BCM5720 for all its new servers (R530, R320), with dual ports. New Dell servers cannot be used if we don't buy/change the cards. Broadcom politics is very bad, i know.
My question is, will you backport FreeBSD working driver to OpenBSD for a next OpenBSD release (5.3 or 5.4) ? Can i make a trunk with bge0 and em0 or must i do a trunk with bge0 and bge1 ? What's the impact ? Thanks for advance -- Cordialement, Loïc BLOT, Expert en Systèmes UNIX, Sécurité et Réseau
