Greetings, all.
Does anyone have a driver for the Broadcom 4401 NIC on FreeBSD 4.9?
My employer has just bought a bunch of Dell boxes with these, and more may
be on the way. But FreeBSD 4.9 doesn't recognize the NIC, and it looks
like Red Hat Linux doesn't see it, either. (We will be running each in
proportion to the amount of trouble they don't cause us.)
I discovered a PR with some patches to a non-existent driver (`bfe'),
and a driver (`bcm') contributed by Duncan Barclay. But it appears only
to compile under 5.x . When I tried it under 4.9, I got a number of
messages that I can't transport off the machine because I have neither
network nor writable media. They included
field mtx has incomplete type
implicit definition of mtx_init
MTX_NETWORK_LOCK undeclared
MTX_DEF undeclared
MTX_RECURSE undeclared
busdma_lock_mutex undeclared
Giant undeclared
too many arguments to function `bus_dma_create'
Does anyone have a way to use this NIC under FreeBSD 4.x?
