Hello,
I got a new Dell R730 server with 4 BCM5720C network interfaces (built in
on motherboard).
Initially I have installed 10.1-RELEASE, but now I am on 10.1-STABLE (built
and hour ago).
The issue I am experiencing that ifconfig doesn't see connected cable. (Yes
I have tried 3 different cables, and they do work otherwise). I have tried
forcing it to 1000baseT but no effect.
(Tried running dhclient bge0 - no response from DHCP server).
Here is dmesg output for one of interfaces:
bge0: <Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet, ASIC rev. 0x5720000> mem

    vendor     = 'Broadcom Corporation'
    device     = 'NetXtreme BCM5720 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet
As server is not yet in production - I am willing to give a try for some
patches (if any), etc.
Sorry if it's wrong mailing list :)
