Package: linux-image-2.6.18-5-xen-686
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-17
Severity: important


The shipped version of the bnx2 driver fails to work with xen bridging.
With an updated version like this one :
http://linux.dell.com/files/bnx2/xen-fix/
the network driver is working. This bug fix is detailled in the driver
changelog.
Updating this driver would save many users of xen having this broadcom
network card.

This was fixed in 2.6.19, I'm marking 2.6.20 as fixed (2.6.19 was never
packaged)

I don't think the risk of regressions outweighs the potential gain
in this case to justify an update for oldstable at this point in
time. Thanks for the report, though.

Cheers,
        Moritz
