Bug 58582 – Feature request for sys-kernel/gentoo-dev-sources

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Simon Stelling (RETIRED) 2004-07-27 13:46:23 UTC]

I'm using a broadcom 5700 network card on my K8T Master2-FAR (onboard) and a driver from Broadcom, distributed under GPL2 since a while (February 2004). I never got problems, everything worked fine, so why don't you add this patch to you r kernel? I'm sure that I'm not the only person using this bcm5700 :D

I added the patch-file I used to patch manually with 'patch -p1 -d /usr/src/linux bcm5700-7.1.22-2.6.0.patch'

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce
Steps to Reproduce:

Created attachment 36282 [details, diff]
bcm5700-7.1.22-2.6.0.patch

I've modified the original broadcom-patch in the last 5 or 6 lines because of a
change in drivers/net/Makefile.

please note that this patch only works on i386, ia64 and x86_64 according to README.TXT

ok, just using the tg3 module would have resolved the problem - closing
