*sigh* No. Spam is when you try to sell me viagra or bestiality porn.
Providing detailed problem reports is not spam. It saves me from having
to _ask_ you for more information, thereby prolonging what might otherwise
be a simple one shot exchange. It also can save time and wear and tear
on developers, since, in the process of collecting detailed information,
you might stumble upon possible solutions to your problem on your own,
to wit:

revision 1.44
date: 2003/07/16 00:09:56; author: wpaul; state: Exp; lines: +226 -103
^^^^^^^^^^
Add support for the BCM5705 and its ilk. Changes:
- 5705 doesn't support jumbo frames
- Statistics must be read from registers
- RX return ring must be capped at 512 entries
- Omit initialization of certain device blocks
- Acknowledge link change interrupts by setting the 'link changed'
bit in the status register (used to have no effect)
- Remember to toggle the MI completion bit too
- Set the mbuf low watermark differently (on-chip memory buffers,
not BSD mbufs)
- Don't enable Ethernet@WireSpeed feature for certain 5705 chip revs
- Add additional PCI IDs for 5705 and 5782 parts
- Add a forgotten 5704 PCI ID
Most changes ripped kicking and screaming from the Broadcom linux driver.
Thanks to Paul Saab for sanity testing. (My lack of sanity has been
confirmed.)
----------------------------
Your kernel image on July 15th. The changes were committed on July 16th.
You missed by one day.
