Bug#412122: network adapter (BCM 5704s) not working with kernel 2.6.8-12
Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-12-amd64-k8-smp
Severity: grave
distribution : sarge (3.1) kernel 2.6.8-12 on AMD64
hardware : Fujitsu Primergy BX630
(http://developer.novell.com/yes/84281.htm)
Hi,
I installed sarge on new server using the net install cd (i386) and
under the 2.4.27-3-386 kernel, the network adapter works fine.
After upgrading to kernel 2.6.8-12-amd64-k8-smp, the network adapter
(BCM 5704s Gigabit Ethernet Controlle) does not work any more. There
are strange error messages about tg3.ko and the network adapter goes down.
