Unfortunately I can't take a look at the broadcom, because it is piggy packed with the RAM, so I can't tell about the host controller. Would be good to know if the controller got probed or not. Maybe I can do an image based test boot later today. At least for the ethernet chip I can say that there are two different devices used with the raspberry. Old devices used the LAN9512 and newer the LAN9514. Main difference is that the later has 4 external hub ports, but maybe there are some errata differences as well. However the LAN9514 already had been used with later B models. At least my 512M RAM B and my B+ all have the LAN9514 and the older 256M has the LAN9512. > This may have been fixed recently, though, so you might want to try a > more recent image. -- B.Walter <bernd@bwct.de> http://www.bwct.de Modbus/TCP Ethernet I/O Baugruppen, ARM basierte FreeBSD Rechner uvm.
