Description

It appears that the freeBSD 8.x and even the 9.X code has a bug where once the network is configured it turns off the link and activity lights. The port is fully operational except for the lights, I posted to the FreeBSD forums and got a response from one of the BCM developers who has rolled a fix into the 9.2 train and posted a patch that could be applied to the earlier 8.x trains. I am hoping to get the patch applied before 2.1 releases. I have been selling thin client based pfsense routers and the newest version has this nic in it and would like to get it resolved.

Here is a link to the FreeBSD forum posting -[[http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=40207]]
