Hi collective, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I just upgraded from linux-2.6.32-tuxonice-r1 to r4 and my network card |
| 4 |
no longer works. It is "Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5756ME |
| 5 |
Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express" and previously I've downloaded firmware |
| 6 |
from |
| 7 |
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware-from-kernel.git;a=tree;f=tigon |
| 8 |
and put it in /lib/firmware/tigon |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
The config option is tg3, built into the kernel. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
dmesg shows: |
| 13 |
$ dmesg | grep -i tg3 |
| 14 |
tg3.c:v3.102 (September 1, 2009) |
| 15 |
tg3 0000:09:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 |
| 16 |
tg3 0000:09:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 |
| 17 |
tg3 0000:09:00.0: firmware: requesting tigon/tg3_tso.bin |
| 18 |
tg3: tg3_load_firmware_cpu: Trying to load TX cpu firmware on eth0 which is 5705. |
| 19 |
tg3: tg3_load_firmware_cpu: Trying to load TX cpu firmware on eth0 which is 5705. |

I don't know if the last two lines are normally there or not. The |
| 22 |
firmware at the above link hasn't changed (according to cksum). |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Google searches only produce the source code, which is pretty but |
| 25 |
doesn't help. The error detection around the print message hasn't |
| 26 |
changed since -r1. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Any ideas? I'm stuck using wireless, but that's dropping in and out all |
| 29 |
the time! |

thanks, |

Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you recognize a mistake |
| 36 |
when you make it again. |
