Please change the bug summary to indicate _what_ chipset support is missing from tg3. Does HP xw4100 include BCM5705? BCM5782? My particular chipset is the BCM5782. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: Broadcom has updated drivers on their website (www.broadcom.com) that support currently shipping Gig. Ethernet chipsets. The HP xw4100 is one such machine which is unsupported under the current beta's kernel(s). Neither the standard nor "BOOT" kernels have support. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Attempt to load the tg3 driver on an HP xw4100 (chipset not supported) 2. 3. Additional info: There may be a licensing issue, but it looks as though RH and Broadcom have worked together in the past, so I'll leave this up to the folks as RH.
