Looks like the SerDes code for the BCE driver still needs to be developed :( If someone could finish the SerDes code for the driver, I will spend as much time as needed to test each code change that is attempted to get the SerDes stuff working :) If needs be I will hook a console up to the system to make it accessible over the internet.
