Hi,<br><br>I just tested your code on a Dell Latitude D630 with a Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5755M Gigabit Ethernet card - works perfectly!<br><br>br,<br>Quinn Plattel<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Aug 20, 2011 at 6:07 PM, Thomas Miletich <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:thomas.miletich@gmail.com">thomas.miletich@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

For my GSoC project I have been working on updating the tg3 driver for<br>
Broadcom BCM57xx NICs.<br>
The old driver was still from etherboot and severely out of date.<br>
The new driver is based on the driver of a recent linux version and<br>
supports 79 NIC variants, as opposed to the 31 supported variants of<br>
the old driver.<br>
<br>
We don't have hardware to test the fiber PHY codepath, so no fiber<br>
code is implemented in the current version. If you have fiber tg3 NICs<br>
and would be interested in helping us test/implement this feature,<br>
please let us know.<br>
<br>
This driver was tested with the following cards: BCM5788, BCM5789,<br>
BCM57780, BCM5761.<br>
There is a know bug that freezes the machine with mdc's test card, a<br>
BCM5701 that we still have to sort out.<br>
<br>
If you're interested in testing the new driver, please let us know<br>
which card you used and whether it worked or not.<br>
<br>
You can get images from a rom-o-matic installation from<br>
<a href="http://etherboot.org/meteger/gpxe/contrib/rom-o-matic/" target="_blank">http://etherboot.org/meteger/gpxe/contrib/rom-o-matic/</a><br>
<br>
The source can be fetched from<br>
<a href="http://git.etherboot.org/people/meteger/gpxe.git/shortlog/refs/heads/tg3" target="_blank">http://git.etherboot.org/people/meteger/gpxe.git/shortlog/refs/heads/tg3</a><br>
The branch tg3 contains the most recent driver code.<br>
<br>
If you experience any driver related issues, please enable the serial console in<br>
src/config/console.h, by changing "//#define CONSOLE_SERIAL" to<br>
"#define CONSOLE_SERIAL".<br>
<br>
Then rebuild gPXE with the following options:<br>
make bin/tg3_main.usb DEBUG=tg3_main:3,tg3_hw,tg3_phy<br>
<br>
and copy the serial output to <a href="http://pastebin.com" target="_blank">http://pastebin.com</a> or a similar site.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any feedback!<br>
Thomas<br>
