Support for BCM5704

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi ALL,

I am using a Force 4203 with onboard BCM5704 Gige
NICs. I am using their driver which is version 3.0.6.
The system network boots properly. However, the speed
of one NIC is set to PCIX 33 MHZ instead of 133 MHZ.
Another problem is that when I send requests from a
client over NFS, the NIC does not accept the packets.
This is NFS over UDP. 

So, I tried out 2.5.33 kernel and the tg3 driver. This
initialized the NIC properly. However, the NIC does
not complete network boot,i.e. it loses communication
with the server running DHCP. 

Any idea if there is a driver having support for
BCM5704?

Thanks
manish
