Hi,<br><br>I am currently testing his code now, but I currently have compile issues when I try to turn on debugging.<br>Regarding iSCSI - i have a fair bit of experience there. I have a gpxe/pxe/tftpboot/iscsi implementation currently working with Ubuntu. Check out <a href="http://etherboot.org">etherboot.org</a> for my iscsi recipe. :-)<br>
<br>Do you happen to know why I get this error:<br><br>$ make bin/tg3_main.usb DEBUG=tg3_main:3,tg3_hw,tg3_phy<br> [BUILD] bin/usbdisk.o<br> [OBJCOPY] bin/usbdisk.bin<br>make: *** No rule to make target `bin/tg3_main.dbg3.o', needed by `bin/blib.a'. Stop.<br>

Enough to tftp and http boot, but no-go on the iSCSI. I think its a ring buffer issue; the bcm5755m has a unique way of handling ring buffers compared to the other members of the family. Even in the (linux) kernel tg3 driver, the amount of special handling for the BCM5755 is considerable.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
