Hi,
I just got two IBM NetXtreme fiber adapters and have had no luck in getting
them to work.

When booting I get the following:

bge0: <Broadcom BCM5703X Gigabit Ethernet> mem 0xeffe0000-0xeffeffff irq 10 at device 5.0 on pci1
bge0: Ethernet address: 00:10:18:00:52:99
miibus2: <MII bus> on bge0
ukphy0: <Generic IEEE 802.3u media interface> on miibus2
ukphy0:  100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX

If I'm not mistaken this should use brgphy like the other Broadcom adapters,
would it be a hard job to add support for this card?
I know some C myself but am not that experienced with kernel stuff so please
help if possible.

pciconf -lv gives me this for the card:

none1@pci1:5:0: class=0x020000 card=0x000a14e4 chip=0x16a714e4 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Broadcom Corporation'
    device   = 'BCM5703X Gigabit Ethernet'
    class    = network
    subclass = ethernet

I can provide access to a test machine with this adapter if someone is willing
to do the work.

Please Cc me as I'm not on the hardware list.

/Oli
