Hi all,
I wanted to check some parameters of my bge0 on one of
our Dell PE2650-Boxes, running fresh BETA4. The command "ifconfig" lists
all network devices, works fine. The command "ifconfig bge0" resetted
the interface, the ssh-shell was stalled for a second or two, ifconfig
produced "status: no carrier". The shell is running in a screen
environment, ifconfig terminated and the interface got up again, shell
is alive.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The logfile:

Same thing on a similar box (PE2650, BETA4) without screen:
root at pinserv4:~# dmesg | grep bge0 ; ifconfig bge0

Another one, with screen:

Whats wrong?
