Hi all,

I have a problem with my bge0 (BCM5750A1 NetXtreme) NIC card which is integrated in my Dell 600SC machine.  This machine is running on FreeBSD-6.2 (i386).

For some reasons, the bge0 NIC interface does not seem  to support 1000baseTX settings.

When the NIC card is set at either 10/100 baseTX,  the bge0 interface shows an active state.  However, when I type the following command: 

ifconfig bge0 media 1000baseTX

the status of the bge0 NIC card shows: no carrier

Does that mean that this bge0 NIC card does not support speeds of 1000baseTX or do I have to tweak some kernel or sysctl settings?

Thanking you....
