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]

I didn't remove it. You can see duplicated BRCM_DEVICEID_BCM5708s in
bce_devs.

Oops, you're right. I've been accidentally ignoring this anyways, I'll
take care of it. Thanks!
Scott
Thanks the kernel now recognizes the network interface.
But it fails to attach the driver to the interface and gives the
following error.
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.
Because I don't the hardware and datasheet for the chip I can't make
any further changes for you. Sorry. But you can ask the driver author
for a plan for SERDES transceiver support. CCed to David Christensen,
the author of the driver.

It seems that there is typo in bce(4) driver.
