BCM57840 QuadPort 10G NIC not working
-
Hello guys,
Please help me fix this, i replaced my old intel 10g card cause i need it two aditional 10g ports and only had in stock a quadport from Broadcom with 4x 10G, after checking the compatibility list here:
The bxe driver provides support for various NICs based on the QLogic NetXtreme II family of 10Gb Ethernet controller chips, including the fol- lowing: +o QLogic NetXtreme II BCM57710 10Gb +o QLogic NetXtreme II BCM57711 10Gb +o QLogic NetXtreme II BCM57711E 10Gb +o QLogic NetXtreme II BCM57712 10Gb +o QLogic NetXtreme II BCM57712-MF 10Gb +o QLogic NetXtreme II BCM57800 10Gb +o QLogic NetXtreme II BCM57800-MF 10Gb +o QLogic NetXtreme II BCM57810 10Gb +o QLogic NetXtreme II BCM57810-MF 10Gb +o QLogic NetXtreme II BCM57840 10Gb / 20Gb +o QLogic NetXtreme II BCM57840-MF 10Gb
i found my card: QLogic NetXtreme II BCM57840 10Gb / 20Gb -> listed here so i thought it should 100% work.
After installing the card i get this wierd errors like:
bxe0: WARNING: No power capability bxe0: ERROR: Failed to create dma tag for 'ECORE_ILT' (22) bxe0: ERROR: ecore_ilt_mem_op ILT_MEMOP_ALLOC failed bxe0: ERROR: Initialization failed, stack notified driver is NOT running! bxe0: WARNING: No power capability bxe0: ERROR: Failed to create dma tag for 'ECORE_ILT' (22) bxe0: ERROR: ecore_ilt_mem_op ILT_MEMOP_ALLOC failed bxe0: ERROR: Initialization failed, stack notified driver is NOT running!
Card is detected but without a mac address and does not make a link
No mater what i do i can't get it to link to my 10G switch.
Please help me fix it, thank you very much.

There are a bunch of debugging options you can play with in bxe(4):
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=bxeLooks like something pretty low level though. If it's not something known that could be very hard to solve.

@stephenw10 Thank you very much for the link, i'm a beginner thought, any hints on what i should start looking for ? thank you
-
Hmm. Not really. I have never dug too deep into Broadcom.
Swapping the card out is going to be the easiest/fastest thing here.
Otherwise I'd get Googling.
There are actually some Broadcom firmware hacks about for other things so I imagine a lot of this will have been discussed on some forum/mailing list.Steve

@stephenw10 Thanks again man, i did all i could but no chance to make it work, any chance to post a link to some of that firmware so i take my shot flashing the card ? nothing i did worked don't think its fixable :(
-
None of that is directly related. I just meant there was an active effort to make that work and I'm sure there would have been debugging done at the time. I might be useful to reference that.

@stephenw10 Is there any driver for this card for FreeBSD ? i tried reaching Broadcom but no response :(
-
It should be supported by bxe(4). There is no other driver as far as I know.
