Then Enjoy. ;=) Eric. N.B : - If you want in future enable back managment firmware do same thing but at the end with : >uxdiag -c 1 -mfw 1 - I try to disable managment in only one card but it doesn't work. Need to disable it in 2 cards. - Thanks to DELL that made new server ( R710) wich take near than 6 minutes to boot !!!! It take me near 4 hours to do those manipulation !!!! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric" To: "David Christensen" ; Sent: Tuesday, June 16, 2009 12:09 PM Subject: Re: Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet Dell 610 and Dell > Thanks David. > If it may help other : a bootable iso image of cdrom with tools is > available here : > http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/driver-sla.php?driver=NX2-diag > > Having someone going to datacenter tomorrow and then let you know result. > ;=) > > Have a nice day. > > Eric. > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "David Christensen" > To: "Eric" ; > Sent: Tuesday, June 16, 2009 3:47 AM > Subject: RE: Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet Dell 610 and > Dell > > >> Does any one find solution to this problem as we have same, >> try a proposed patch but still have problem and don't find >> anywhere the solution? > > I've worked with a few people off list and it seems there is an > issue with the way the management firmware loaded on the 5709C > enables packet reception before the FreeBSD driver has an > opportunity to load.

Seems that there is no support for it in FreeBSD yet, but there are some mentionings about 8185 in /sys/dev/usb/wlan/if_urtw*. Also, Realtek has a Linux driver for it, and this driver is partly based on NetBSD's if_rtw driver for RTL8180 (which seems to be 802.11a/b predecessor of 8185). So, I'm wondering - does someone work already on a driver for this chip, or maybe I should try to write a driver myself? Thanks, -- Pavel Gubin Jabber: xmpp:pg@2lazy.ru / Phone +79218959055 / sip:pg@2lazy.ru
