vge(4) gigabit on VIA EPIA SN 18000 board (again)

[Jonathan Hogg]

Hi all,

I noticed a previous discussion here regarding the vge driver and  
problems with the EPIA SN 18000 board:

http://groups.google.com/group/mailing.freebsd.current/browse_thread/thread/e2b3ddb38ad55fbc

That thread kind of tails off inconclusively, and I just wondered  
whether anyone had gotten any further with it? I have the same board  
and the same problem - though, in addition, I also get a fair number  
of watchdog timeouts under load at 100Mb.

I'd very much like to get this port working (reliably and) at 1Gb and  
would be willing to help debug the driver if I can (I'm a developer,  
but have no expertise in the FreeBSD kernel). Alternatively, I'd  
happily create an account on this box if someone can learn more about  
it by poking around. I'm using CURRENT as of a couple of weeks ago  
(recompiling from last night's at the moment).

Cheers,

Jonathan
