Subject: Broadcom BCM5901 NIC
Date: Sun, 28 Sep 2003 01:19:06 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030927231904.GA22769@hardeman.nu> (raw)
Hi,
my new laptop (IBM Thinkpad G40) has an integrated NIC made by broadcom.
It's a BCM5901 card for which support was added in the tg3 driver a few
weeks ago (both in 2.4 and 2.6-test). However, the device doesn't work,
it insmods just fine and claims the hardware, but the machine never
responds to ping messages and the led indicating network activity is
never activated.
Broadcom has released a driver of their own (bcm5700) which works with
kernel 2.4.21. When I try that combination it works fine, however, the
bcm5700 driver wont work at all on recent 2.4 or 2.6 kernels.
Does anyone know what is wrong with the tg3 driver? Has anyone tried
using it on a 5901 card with success?
Regards,
David
