Public bug reported: We need to support newer Broadcom NetXtreme NICs than what the current bnxt_en driver can handle.
The plan is to provide a separate driver module called bnxt_en_bpo which is a backported driver from Broadcom. This driver will be modified to only support the new NICs that the current kernel driver does not support. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Juerg Haefliger (juergh) Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Juerg Haefliger (juergh) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1711056 Title: Backport more recent Broadcom bnxt driver Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: We need to support newer Broadcom NetXtreme NICs than what the current bnxt_en driver can handle.
