Hi, there:
=20
I'm new to FreeBSD community and this is my first email to the mailing
group.

Recently I'm working on Broadcom 5784M Gige driver. My code base is
close to FreeBSD,=20
but FreeBSD bge driver doesn't support the chip yet. The linux driver
supports the chip. =20
I'm wondering whether anyone is working or plans to work on to port the
linux code to=20
FreeBSD base. If so, I hope we can share some information together.
Thanks.

Another thing, I found one dead loop in current src/sys/dev/bge/if_bge.c
(both 216/217=20
revisions): around line 2682, if mii_phy_probe( ) fails, the code will
go back to again (4 lines=20
back). Variable trys will reset to 0 every time, so the (trys++<4)
condition is forever false.=20
=20
I don't know how to report the bug to freebsd Community yet. So I just
attach the related=20
code below. The fix is simple: just move "trys=3D0" line before again:
=20
Thanks and best wishes to everyone!
