I can run the tests, if I can get access to hardware. The problem is, I
haven't got any such hardware immediately at hand. If anyone has either
a system they can ship me, or alternatively, I could accept remote
access (via SSH) to a pair of systems -- one with this hardware, and one
with some other GbE port, both running Solaris 10 or OpenSolaris, then I
can run the tests remotely.
The configuration for such remote access would need to be:
Machine A:
* ideally a dual core system, but a 2.0GHz or better CPU single core
at minimum
* one regular, non bcm5780 connection to the internet
* a bcm5780 with a back-to-back ethernet cable to Machine B
Machine B:
* ideally a similar CPU configuration as machine A, at least 2.0GHz
please
* one regular connection to the internet
* one non-bcm5780 (e.g. other bge or e1000g or rge) GbE connected to
bcm5780 of machine A
I'd need access to such a configuration for probably about 3-4 days to
get the tests, assuming no "issues" are found during test.
