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

We are back porting the bce driver from 8.0 to 7.0. We are still missing
some changes since cold boots work but rebooting (warm booting) fails!

The error is:

bce0: ../../../dev/bce/if_bce.c(1386); Unable to write CTX memory:
cid_addr = 0x00000000, offset = 0x00000000!

files back ported:

bce/if_bce.h
bce/if_bcefw.h
bce/if_bvereg.h
mii/brgphy.c
mii/brgphyreg.h

It looks like we are not doing a hard reset to the NIC when rebooting.
Cool boots work. Thanks for any help

Why would you need to do that?  There is a bce driver in the 7.x OS
already.

Paul Schmehl, If it isn't already
obvious, my opinions are my own
and not those of my employer.
