After reading the tech bulletins being circulated around, I think I'm running into "the" V210 bge ethernet interface bug. So I'm giving the five shiny new V210's back to Sun, and I'm going to do this on a spare V100 instead. Thanks to everyone (far too many to individually name, but you know who you are :-) who gave up a little time to help me out here.

Hi all, (Running a shniy new SunFire v210, with "entire software group" Sol 9 04/03) Quick question - anyone got a working config for a bge.conf file? I'm trying to get it to talk to a 10Mb, half duplex hub. I've tried... Reading 'man 7D bge', which is the usual slightly-obfuscated documentation. Reading docs.sun.com, which has some interesting typoes in the driver config pages. Setting it with the following lines in /etc/system - Attempt 1 :- forceload: dev/bge set bge:adv_autoneg_cap=0 set bge:adv_1000fdx_cap=0 set bge:adv_1000hdx_cap=0 set bge:adv_100fdx_cap=0 set bge:adv_100hdx_cap=0 Attempt 2 :- forceload: dev/bge set bge:instance=0 set bge:adv_autoneg_cap=0 set bge:adv_1000fdx_cap=0 set bge:adv_1000hdx_cap=0 set bge:adv_100fdx_cap=0 set bge:adv_100hdx_cap=0 Attempt 3 :- forceload: dev/bge set bge0:adv_autoneg_cap=0 set bge0:adv_1000fdx_cap=0 set bge0:adv_1000hdx_cap=0 set bge0:adv_100fdx_cap=0 set bge0:adv_100hdx_cap=0 Also tried making a bge.conf file. The following file, located in /kernel/drv, /platform/sun4u/kernel/drv (not a symlink, an actual copy)... name = "SUNW,bge" parent = "/pci@1f,700000" unit-address = "2,0" adv_autoneg_cap=0 adv_1000fdx_cap=0 adv_1000hdx_cap=0 adv_100fdx_cap=0 adv_100hdx_cap=0; ...variations "2" and "2,0" for the unit-address. with the following "bge" lines from /etc/path_to_inst... "/pci@1f,700000/network@2" 0 "bge" "/pci@1f,700000/network@2,1" 1 "bge" "/pci@1d,700000/network@2" 2 "bge" "/pci@1d,700000/network@2,1" 3 "bge" At wits end. Anyone got any ideas?
