Greetings,

I'm trying to get OpenBSD running on a Fujitsu BX920 S2 server blade,
but ran into a wall trying to set up the network interfaces.

The server has two dual port Intel 82575 Gigabit Ethernet controllers,
as far as I could tell this chipset should be supported in em(4),
but ifconfig reports back with "status: no carrier" on the interface,
even though the interface and link is up.

I tried both 4.8-stable and 4.8-current as of Oct 12 2010.

OpenBSD 4.8-current (GENERIC.MP) #462: Tue Oct 12 17:56:54 MDT 2010
    [email protected]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC.MP

pcidump lists the devices as:

 1:0:0: Intel PRO/1000 PF (82575EB)
 1:0:1: Intel PRO/1000 PF (82575EB)
 2:0:0: Intel PRO/1000 PF (82575EB)
 2:0:1: Intel PRO/1000 PF (82575EB)

ifconfig em0:

 em0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
         lladdr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:ee
         priority: 0
         media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
         status: no carrier

I've tried 4.8-stable and 4.8-current as of 2010-11-09.

Dmesg has following info:

 em0 at pci1 dev 0 function 0 "Intel PRO/1000 PF (82575EB)" rev 0x02:
  apic 7 int 4 (irq 10), address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:ee
 em1 at pci1 dev 0 function 1 "Intel PRO/1000 PF (82575EB)" rev 0x02:
  apic 7 int 16 (irq 5), address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:ef
 em2 at pci2 dev 0 function 0 "Intel PRO/1000 PF (82575EB)" rev 0x02:
  apic 7 int 5 (irq 10), address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:f0
 em3 at pci2 dev 0 function 1 "Intel PRO/1000 PF (82575EB)" rev 0x02:
  apic 7 int 17 (irq 5), address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:f1

(Mac addresses partially blanked in this output on purpose)


This NIC seems to be quite common for new servers, so before I run off
sending a bug report, I'd like to hear if anyone else has stumbled upon
this or could give me some advise before I run off submitting a bug
report.


Thank you.

Best regards,
Kenneth Oestrup
