Ok, I've seen a lot of bge/bce commits, messages, etc, so I may have
missed something - please point me to a commit or message if I did..
We've got a brand new Dell Precision 390 (Core 2 Duo) which has a
Broadcom NIC in it, Probably much like the one in the PowerEdge 1950,
but cheaper and less reliable (if you can imagine that). It's doesn't
seem to be supported yet on the 6-STABLE branch, and so I'm wondering if
we would have better luck with -CURRENT, or if the PCI ID's just need to
be mapped out, etc.
Here's the pciconf output for that card:
none2@pci4:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x01de1028 chip=0x167a14e4 rev=0x02
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
I see a line in the bge driver (sys/dev/bge/if_bgereg.h), like:
#define BCOM_DEVICEID_BCM5754 0x167A
But I believe it's a BCM5787, and when the bge driver loads, the system
panics because of (excude my vagueness here - I'll get the details
tomorrow) some kind of NMI memory checksum failure, but the device is
fine, tests ok, and runs perfectly under other OS'es.
Is that device supposed to be supported yet on -STABLE or -CURRENT?
Thanks!
Eric
