Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet Dell 610 and Dell 710 servers

[Carlos Pardo-2]

The Ethernet bce driver does not work!!

bce0: ../../../dev/bce/if_bce.c(1525): PHY write timeout!
Bce1: ../../../dev/bce/if_bce.c(1525): PHY write timeout!
Bce2: ../../../dev/bce/if_bce.c(1525): PHY write timeout!
Bce3: ../../../dev/bce/if_bce.c(1525): PHY write timeout!

Does anyone know where to find a good driver? I tried 5 driver versions
(including current) to no avail. Thanks.

What does dmesg show for bce0 through bce3?  I have -CURRENT
on a Dell r710 server and I can establish link without a problem.

I have seen some difference between 7.2 and -CURRENT in mii/brgphy*, do
you think this could have some connection to the problem?

If Carlos has tried -CURRENT I don't see why this would happen.
Older versions in 7.X have removed the PHY ID for the 5709C so
this isn't surprising but -CURRENT should have it.
