I tried it with a full build of a BK tree pulled last night, and it
definitely didn't work. Some relevant output:

tg3.c:v3.9 (August 30, 2004)
eth0: Tigon3 [partno(none) rev 2003 PHY(serdes)] (PCIX:133MHz:64-bit) 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet 00:0d:60:1e:88:56
eth0: HostTXDS[1] RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[1] Split[0] WireSpeed[1] TSOcap[0]
eth1: Tigon3 [partno(none) rev 2003 PHY(serdes)] (PCIX:133MHz:64-bit) 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet 00:0d:60:1e:88:57
eth1: HostTXDS[1] RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[0] Split[0] WireSpeed[1] TSOcap[1]

and then as soon as the init scripts try to bring up the interface:

Setting up network interfaces:

dummy0 No configuration found for dummy0 unused
eth0 device: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5
system>
system> console -T system:blade[11]
SOL is not ready

(the last three lines are the management console taking over again
after the serial-over-LAN has died)

Just to be clear, I'm running a ppc64 kernel on a JS20 blade (dual PPC
970) with BCM5704S. The HS20 blade (dual Xeon) also has a BCM5703X
but I haven't tried the latest driver on one of those yet.

Thanks,
Roland
