Supermicro Bladeserver

[Vogel, Jack]

We attempted to repro this problem with the 82566DM (ich8 btw) in house and failed, it worked correctly for my testers.

Oh, and just so the mailing lists have an update, the SM Blade problem was not an issue in the driver, it was a local change in the loader.conf that caused the problem.

Regards,

Jack

My machine has the following em(4) device and it has a autoneg
problem.  When I was using 8-stable kernel at 2010/11/01, it has no
problem.  But I update to 8-stable at 2010/12/01, the kernel is only
linked up as 10M.


em0 at pci0:0:25:0:    class=0x020000 card=0x13d510cf chip=0x104a8086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
     vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
     device     = '82566DM Gigabit Network Connection'
     class      = network
     subclass   = ethernet
