I am having a problem with some nge interfaces.I am using the NetGear GA621 cards, which use the nge driver. I compiled the driver into the kernel with "device nge". I have the card plugged into a NetOptics fiber tap. (this system is an IDS) The card is recognized at boot and its status is active, however, when I "up" the interface, the card status goes to NO CARRIER. I can verify that this setup works with OpenBSD 4.3 and Debian Linux -stable. I have even tried replacing the hardware. Here is my hardware configuration: Intel P4 3.06 GHz (HT not enabled in kernel) 1 GB RAM 80B HD NetGear GA621 NIC (no ip address) used to monitor traffic Any ideas? Anything I am missing?
