has anyone got the above gigabit ethernet working with freebsd 4.10 ? patching sys/dev/bge/if_bge.c and sys/dev/bge/if_bgereg.h with the device and vendor IDs in the proper places doesnt seem to work, though the entries exist in the same files in the 4.11 sources. a mailing list search shows it working fine on the ibm t43 notebooks but on freebsd 5.4 instead. however, as mentioned above, RELENG_4 sources contain the device id for the BCM5751M, so i'd assume it'd work there too. there seems to be no special handling of this device in the code, so getting it to work on 4.10 (as opposed to 4.11R) would be as simple as adding in the same device ids. or so i thought. pciconf -l -v yields none4@pci16:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x0944103c chip=0x167d14e4 rev=0x11 hdr=0x0 vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation' class = network subclass = ethernet and a kldload if_bge returns (after patching in device id): bge0: <Broadcom BCM5715M Gigabit Ethernet, ASIC rev. 0x4101> mem 0xc8000000-0xc800ffff irq 10 at device 0.0 on pci16 bge0: firmware handshake timed out bge0: RX CPU self-diagnostics failed! bge0: chip initialization failed device_probe_and_attach: bge0 returned 6 the notebook is a HP nc6230. -- Regards, /\_/\ "All dogs go to heaven." dinesh@alphaque.com (0 0) http://www.alphaque.com/ +==========================----oOO--(_)--OOo----==========================+ | for a in past present future; do | | for b in clients employers associates relatives neighbours pets; do | | echo "The opinions here in no way reflect the opinions of my $a $b." | | done; done | +=========================================================================+
