Hello list,

I have a production system that is running 4.10. It is a Dell 4600 
poweredge server.
When I try to kldload if_bge I get the following in /var/log/messages:
Sep  6 18:07:48 GE_SRM2_42 /kernel: bge0: <Broadcom BCM5700 Gigabit 
Ethernet, ASIC r
ev. 0x7104> mem 0xfcf00000-0xfcf0ffff irq 11 at device 6.0 on pci1
Sep  6 18:07:48 GE_SRM2_42 /kernel: bge0: Ethernet address: 
00:b0:d0:fe:89:da
Sep  6 18:07:51 GE_SRM2_42 /kernel: bge0: no memory for jumbo buffers!
Sep  6 18:07:51 GE_SRM2_42 /kernel: bge0: jumbo buffer allocation failed
Sep  6 18:07:51 GE_SRM2_42 /kernel: device_probe_and_attach: bge0 attach 
returned 6

Why am I getting this, and also if i try to ifconfig bge0 I get:
ifconfig: interface bge0 does not exist

Do I have to compile this device into the kernel?

Thanks very much.
Steve Clark
