Re: Dell 1955 Blade - Broadcom NIC not detected (BCM5708S)
Hi ! We tested the latest version (1.2.2.12) of the driver on Friday (Feb 9, 2007), but could not get the interfaces up. Has anybody managed to get the network interfaces up and running with this latest version of the driver? http://people.freebsd.org/~dwhite/patches/bce-serdes-20070111.tar.gz These should apply cleanly to RELENG_6. -- Med vennlig hilsen / Regards; Roar Pettersen Universitetet i Bergen - The University of Bergen Nygardsgt. 5 - N-5020 BERGEN - Norway Tlf: +47 55 58 40 55 fax: +47 55 58 40 70 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - IT-Avd, UiB - http://www.uib.no ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

We have just started purchasing 1955 Blades and would very much like to install FreeBSD on them :) There is not much response regardring this issue other than "me too". The need for an updated driver is there and if we want some progress I believe some financing seems to be the only alternative. Maby Scott (Long) has some thought on this (if he's not to busy getting 6.2 ready).

"bce0 if_bce.c(531) SerDes controllers are not supported!" What now is there anything else I can try? Regards Conrad In if_bce.c I found the following comment "/* DRC - ToDo: Add SerDes support. */". Looks like the SerDes code for the BCE driver still needs to be developed :( If someone could finish the SerDes code for the driver, I will spend as much time as needed to test each code change that is attempted to get the SerDes stuff working :) If needs be I will hook a console up to the system to make it accessible over the internet.
