Hi Jesse, Matt, and Ben, The following is a patch which is needed to prevent Broadcom 5706, 5708 and 5709 rev A. nics from hanging with the current PCI VPD code. Switching the permissions to be read by root still does not solve the case when any app with root privileges tries to read the VPD data from these nics. It will still hang the device. Please let us know what you think. Thanks again. -Ben -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
