I am installing a new firewall with freebsd 7.2. It has a 2 port pci-ex fiber card
When the machine starts up the card recognizes a link (light turns on) but when bsd starts up, the lights turn off and the it seems the card turns off. The status states that it has no carrier. Both of the interfaces on the card are plugged into something (one to a transceiver, one to a switch)
here are the some of the valid info you may want to see.
---ifconfig---
dmesg | grep bge
