BCM5755 driver not starting?   
Hi,

 

I have an HP dual core system, and am having trouble with the bge
driver.

 

The Broadcom Ethernet is part of the 975X chipset on the motherboard.  I
am trying to use the bge driver with io-pkt-v4.

 

Pci -v shows the BCM5755 driver:

VID=0x14e4, DID 0x167b

 

This is apparently started as part of the PCI enumeration.

 

But, when I run ifconfig, I only get an entry for lo0, none for en0.

 

What is wrong?

 

Thanks,

Keith

Looking at the source, I don't think that did is
in the bge_products[] array in if_bge.c so the
driver will not automatically detect and run on
it.

However, I believe Rob recently added support
for cmd line options for the bsd drivers.  Have
you tried specifying "did=0x167b" to the bge
driver, started with the verbose option, and
slogger running?

The enumerators also don't yet use the devnp drivers while we're trying
to sort out what appears to be some sort of compatibility issue between
qnet and the BSD ported drivers.

The BCM driver that's in use by the enumerators in 6.4 today is the
io-net tigon3 driver which looks like it should work with that DID.

If you want to use the BSD driver you can start it by hand:
- slay off io-net* / io-pkt*
# io-pkt -dbge ...

Comparing our source to the latest bge driver source it
appears support for the 5755 was added post NetBSD 4.0
which is what our devnp-bge driver is based on.
