[Bug 435185] Re: bnx2: Please support BCM5716 chipset
I've installed the latest bnx2 driver from Broadcom, updated my initrd and now when it loads the bnx2 driver, ipmi still works as expected. So it looks like you'll have to update to the latest (or a later version) of the bnx driver like Redhat do to support the 5716 properly... -- bnx2: Please support BCM5716 chipset https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/435185 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 435185] Re: bnx2: Please support BCM5716 chipset
Hi, I'm using this proposed ubuntu-installer (from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-proposed/main/installer- amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/) to install hardy on Dell r210s and r410s with the BCM5716 chipset, as the standard Hardy installer doesn't support the 5716. We use IPMI to remotely control the power using the builtin BMC using a 802.1q vlan (the ipmi vlan is tagged, normal public network is native vlan on the switchport) As soon as the bnx2 driver is loaded during the install ipmi stops responding, but the install completes successfully. Rebooting the machine manually, ipmi starts to work again up until the bnx2 driver is loaded again. Removing the bnx2 driver using rmmod, it starts to respond again, but obviously I loose network connectivity. Installing Lucid on the same machine works as expected, the bnx2 is loaded and ipmi still works. Any ideas?

Re: [Bug 435185] Re: bnx2: Please support BCM5716 chipset
You are missing the header packages for your kernel. You need to have "apt-get install linux-header-server" for your server kernel. This is meta package that keeps the linux-headers installed with new kernel installs. You can also find linux-headers--server as well. Which the first package I mentioned installs. -- bnx2: Please support BCM5716 chipset https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/435185 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I am certainly looking forward to the day this issue is resolved in the stable kernel. Meanwhile, I am having some trouble with your DKMS package: r...@r210:~# dpkg-reconfigure bnx2-dkms -- Deleting module version: 1.6.9.1 completely from the DKMS tree. -- Done.

Building only for 2.6.24-27-server Building for architecture x86_64 Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed. I noticed that headers were pulled in during installation, but not the full source. I tried installing the full source, but that didn't help, so I'm assuming that this isn't working because I'm using the -server variant.

[Bug 435185] Re: bnx2: Please support BCM5716 chipset
I've created a solution that patches the existing bnx2.ko module: it modifies an existing PCI ID in order to recognize the BCM5716 chip. My solution is a initramfs hook and takes care of all kernel-updates (and -upgrades); it's a one-stop solution for using BCM5716's on Hardy.

[Bug 435185] Re: bnx2: Please support BCM5716 chipset
I can confirm this. We are now compiling the patched module (adding just the PCI ID to the code). We have tested this linking with linux-headers 2.6.24-24-server, 2.6.24-24-xen and 2.6.24-25-xen, and I am pretty confident it would work on any other Hardy kernel flavour. I believe this to be a reasonable change for the next Hardy release, given the benefit it yields in terms of hardware support. I kindly suggest Ubuntu to consider backporting the newer driver to next Hardy revision or to hack the current code so it supports BCM5716 patch. The driver version included in Intrepid already includes proper support for BCM5716. Otherwise, if Ubuntu decides to patch bnx2.c , support for both Ethernet and Fiber cards can be added with little effort. As an example for any reader having the same problem, I am attaching the patch we applied. Note that this is not official, and it does not support BCM5716 chipset over fiber channel, just on 1000Base-T (the patch for 1000Base-SX is included in the RedHat bug report referenced above). A more definitive solution would be based on code from the driver upstream version. Sorry for not providing a complete, proper patch, but it is beyond my knowledge about Ubuntu packaging and kernel development. ** Attachment added: "Unofficial simple patch adding support for BCM 5716 chipset to bnx2 driver" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35888957/bcm5716-patch-linux-2.6.24.diff -- bnx2: Please support BCM5716 chipset https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/435185 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Yes, that is certainly a duplicate, at my workplace we are also using Dell R410/R210. However, I don't believe it is strictly necessary to include the newest version of the bnx2 driver (as Red Hat does for RHEL), rather I am told that it should be supportable by the older driver with a one-line patch to add the appropriate PCI ID. We are currently working around this problem by compiling the newest bnx2 driver against the Hardy kernel headers, however this is quite an inconvenience for us.. -- bnx2: Please support BCM5716 chipset https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/435185 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 435185] Re: bnx2: Please support BCM5716 chipset
Just so there's no confusion, that patch in the RH Bugtracker is for the 5716S (GigE over Fibre), whereas I need the 5716 (GigE over Copper). I just couldn't find a patch adding exactly that (it probably came with a new release of the Broadcom driver).
