Hi.

I ran into this issue:

SerDes controllers are not supported

Others have reported the same. What is required to make the bce-driver
compatible with serdes-controllers? Does the author of the driver need
some financial backing to focus on (re)writing the bce-driver? Should
we get in touch with broadcom to get more information?

regards
Claus
