ixgb no go

[Mars G. Miro]

Greetz!

 I happen to have ixgb hardware. Using the driver in FreeBSD 6.2/amd64
as well as the one at:

 just gives me:

 ixgb0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=1b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING>

        media: Ethernet autoselect
        status: no carrier

 This is on a SunFire x4100 connected end-to-end on another x4100.

 Solaris10 on both the same hardware (connected end-to-end) works.

 Am i left in the cold? :-(

 Thanks.
