As for the rest: our priority is free software, who cares about users? tg3: Drop. The firmware should be pruned and the driver deactivated until someone shows up with a patch upstream accepts. While I am a user of this driver (my laptop came with a broadcom gigabit card), I do appreciate your caring for user freedoms and dropping this driver. thanks for doing the right thing, even if it means I can't use lan0. manoj Hello, From from a user's point of view, as this chip is on quite a number of mobos, some users will suddenly find they loose internet connection after a kernel upgrade.

Hello Jonas, As you said, there is no secret at all. :-) I understand if this can be confusing: Some get furious when you make too much noise in bugreports, others (like me) when you don't. Besides, I did not request those lengthy details - on the contrary I suggested this to be a non-bug. Thanks for your opinion but that's something I, as an ordinary user and reporter of (probable) bugs, not fully competent to judge. And if you were to play nice with lengthy details for bugreports you could either compress it or put it somewhere on the web and only refer to it with a URL. I *have* thought about all these options and I've chosen this course action which IMO is reasonable, under the current circumstances. And I'm sure package maintainers would provide sufficient information to the bug list after the investigation. Your opinion is noted and this will be the last you hear (directly) from me on this topic.
