Bug#688364: BCM5720 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe not supported in squeeze baseline kernel

[T <hex445@gmail.com>]

Hello,

Any update on this bug(please cc me) ?
I have Dell R320 and R420 servers with Broadcom 5720 DP 1Gb cards.

I tried kernel from squeeze backports. Devices are detected but do not
operate properly.
There are a lot of messages:
tg3 Host status block
tg3 transmit timed out, resetting

Finally I compiled drivers from source and it seems to operate
correctly(static ip)
modinfo tg3:
filename:       /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/tg3.ko
firmware:       tigon/tg3_tso5.bin
firmware:       tigon/tg3_tso.bin
firmware:       tigon/tg3.bin
version:        3.124c

Best regards,
