I noticed this, this morning as well. I plan to do some debugging this afternoon, once I get some other issues out of the way from the start of our semester. I'm not sure if Kevin has seen the previous post or not, but it's here: http://lists.ipxe.org/pipermail/ipxe-devel/2012-May/001461.html .

I do want to thank the guys/gals at Broadcom who are putting an effort into this, as it does appear to have fixed a different issue we had (If you booted via USB, into a WinPE image, the WinPE image was not able to use the NIC. This appears to be working as expected now).

I plan to do a DEBUG=tg3 build, so if more debugging, or another is requested, let me know and I can include that. The machine I have for testing does have a Serial output, so I can easily grab any console output.

Hi,

I just wanted to notify everyone that the recent commit with fixes for the tg3 driver (a05871d89ad9b94248049c66f238092fc896e9aa) have not made any noticeable difference in regards to functionality on gigabit interfaces.

I am testing with BCM5764M and while iPXE will function properly on 100Mbit, it fails on DHCP still on a gigabit link. This behaviour is the same as before this commit.

Thanks Kevin and all others who are working on this. I can provide any data that may help with resolving this issue.

Brendon
