Because of numerous reported problems with the tg3 driver, mainly on amd64 (x86_64/Opteron/Athlon64) boxes, we made a kernel patch from the latest official BCM5700 2.4 driver for the 2.6 kernel. This seems to resolve those problems, though also seems to be a much larger driver than the tg3 driver. http://dev.gentoo.org/~brad_mssw/kernel_patches/2.6.0/genpatches-0.4/302_bcm5700_broadcom_gigabit_drvr.patch Please CC me on any replies as I am not subscribed to this list. I also figured it would be ok to submit, as there's the eepro100 and e100 drivers for the intel nic, figured this was a similar instance. -Brad House brad_mssw@xxxxxxxxxx |
