Description Kevin L. Ford 2004-06-22 21:07:55 UTC
The BCM5700 patches were removed from the development sources. Greg KH staed that if any patches were missing to complain. COMPLAIN!!
All new HP/Compaq and Dell servers ship with the Broadcom Gig Ethernet port. I am now currently not able to upgrade to the next version of the kernel with manually patching the sources myself.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.




Out of all the patches to be removed, this is one that should have never been
consider.
