Looks like the NICs on the blade are not supported by the BCE or BGE driver. On Linux the NICs are identified as "06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet (rev 11)" >From "if_bce.c" ------------------------- * The following controllers are not supported by this driver: * (These are not "Production" versions of the controller.) * BCM5706C A0, A1 * BCM5706S A0, A1, A2, A3 * BCM5708C A0, B0 * --> BCM5708S <-- A0, B0, B1 Is there any reason why the chipset is not supported? Is there anyway of getting the BCE or BGE driver to work with this chipset? Will it be supported sometime in the near future? Any help would be much appreciated. Regards Conrad
