I tried applying the patches on todays current (amd64) but there have been a lot of changes in this driver lately so I had to apply one hunk by hand. With a BCM5704 chip (Supermicro H8SSL-i) the box hangs solid after setting hostname. With a BCM5721 chip (Supermicro P8SCi) i get "RX CPU Self diagnosis failed" and no ethernet interfaces at all. Do you have an updated/working patch set? Regards, Martin
