Dave,

Partial dmesg, concerning the NIC:

pcib4: <ACPI PCI-PCI bridge> irq 17 at device 28.5 on pci0
pci14: <ACPI PCI bus> on pcib4
bge0: <HP NC105i PCIe Gigabit Server Adapter, ASIC rev. 0xa200> mem 
0xed000000-0xed00ffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci14
miibus0: <MII bus> on bge0
ukphy0: <Generic IEEE 802.3u media interface> PHY 1 on miibus0
ukphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseT, 
1000baseT-FDX, auto
bge0: Ethernet address: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
bge0: [ITHREAD]

bge0: link state changed to UP

Must I try 1000baseT-FDX instead than 1000baseTX in my ifconfig line?
