Running FreeBSD 6.1 RELEASE/AMD64 with GENERIC plus kernel configuration:
 options BGE_FAKE_AUTONEG
>Description:
The switch is the IBM bladecenter DLink internal GB switch

When this extra kernel option is in place, the link light goes from 
solid to off.  I tried assigning media type and speed through ifconfig.

The dmesg output says:

pci5: <PCI bus> on pcib3
bge0: <Broadcom BCM5704S Dual Gigabit Ethernet, ASIC rev. 0x2100> mem
 0xdcff0000-0xdcffffff irq 77 at device 1.0 on pci5
bge0: Ethernet address: 00:14:5e:3d:9d:dc
bge1: <Broadcom BCM5704S Dual Gigabit Ethernet, ASIC rev. 0x2100> mem 
 0xdcfe0000-0xdcfeffff irq 78 at device 1.1 on pci5
bge1: Ethernet address: 00:14:5e:3d:9d:dd
pci0: <base peripheral> at device 8.0 (no driver attached)
pcib4: <MPTable PCI-PCI bridge> at device 28.0 on pci0 

ifconfig (before I assign a speed and mediaopt) shows:

bge0: flags=8802<UP,BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=9b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM>
        ether 00:14:5e:3d:9d:dc
        media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseSX <full-duplex>)
        status: no carrier
bge1: flags=8802<UP,BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=9b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM>
        ether 00:14:5e:3d:9d:dd
        media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseSX <full-duplex>)
        status: no carrier

This same blade was able to connect with both Solaris and CentOS.

Thank you,
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to install FreeBSD 6.1 Release on a bladecenter blade 8843L1U with the DLink switch.
>Fix:
I have tried FreeBSD 6.0 Release, 7.0 Current all had the same problem.  I have not found a fix
