Intel pro/1000GT quad adapter [not working]

Per Engelbrecht Thu, 03 Aug 2006 07:01:50 -0700

Hi all,

(obsd3.9 / i386)

I'm beefing up two of our bgp routers i.e. replacing Intel Pro/1000MTdual port server adapters with Intel Pro/1000GT quad-port serveradapters. The GT card is the MT cards successor and should be backwardscompatible, but my vanilla 3.9 installation 'no habla GT'.

I've talked to Intel several times without any luck. The persons Italked to did not know the difference between SysV and BSD yet alone thedifference between GT and MT (fair should be fair and normally Inteltech's know what they're talking about, but not today).

During install (with a dual and a quad card in the server) four 'em'interfaces was found, but none had link according to the installer!

See first dmesg ("dmesg_both") below and please note my lines on the MAC's.

The second dmesg ("dmesg_quadonly") is from when the system has a quadcard (only) installed.


The MT card has a single FW82546GB chip.
The GT card has two NH82546GB chip.
The 'em' driver support 'i82546'.

Below is two dmesg files. The first one is with a dual + a quad cardinstalled. The second on is with a quad card only.
