Hi all We have 5 Dell 1950s running the new BCE driver without any problems. Thanks Scott!! Maybe you can help me with another Dell-Broadcom network problem. I am trying to get FreeBSD to work on a Dell 1955 blade. Looks like the nics on the blade are not supported by the BCE driver. On linux the nics are identified as "06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet (rev 11)" >From "if_bce.c" ------------------------- * The following controllers are not supported by this driver: * (These are not "Production" versions of the controller.) * BCM5706C A0, A1 * BCM5706S A0, A1, A2, A3 * BCM5708C A0, B0 * --> BCM5708S <-- A0, B0, B1 Is there any reason why the chipset is not supported? Is there anyway of getting the BCE driver to work with this chipset? Any help would be much appreciated. Regards Conrad
