Hi Jeff,
Yes it's me again, the one-and-only guy who needs to do an ifconfig down/up cycle to get his Broadcom BCM5702 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 02) chip to work after every reboot. (ASUS A7V8X mobo)
I just downloaded, compiled, and installed the current driver from Broadcom's website (bcm5700-7.1.22.tar.gz) and it WORKS! On the first try...
I admit this is the first time I've attempted this, so I can't say what exactly fixed this long-standing bug, or when it was fixed by Broadcom.
I'm sorry I don't have the expertise to debug this problem by myself, but I would be more than pleased to try any experiments you can think of in order to get this annoying bug fixed.
Can you suggest any tests or patches I could try in order to fix the current tg3 driver? It's been almost a year now that I've been dealing with this silly bug! Any help would be gratefully received!
Thanks.
