Hi all,
I have a server with the Intel 10Gbit network card 82598EB AT CX4, and with an embedded Intel 1Gbit. The embedded network port works correctly, but I cannot use the 10Gbit one. It seems that FreeBSD correctly recognizes the card, with pciconf -l -v I have:
But ifconfig gives me:
But the cable is connected! The card's hardware works, and so do the switch and the cable, I have verified with a Linux distribution, so I guess it is a software problem. I have also downloaded and installed the latest FreeBSD driver from the Intel site, but with no luck. The leds are blinking, but I cannot change the status of the interface, so even if I give it an IP number it does not work.
What else I can try? Thank you from a FreeBSD newbie...
