We've got HS22 blades (IBM BladeCenter) which habe the BCM5709S and suffer from exactly the same problem. Dave, are there any news regarding the PHY implementation? If there's decent documentation I might even give it a try myself, provided that it's not too complex. (I've done hardware programming before, but I've never touched a NIC/PHY driver, except for very trivial fixes.) Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
