>Description:
I'm trying to make a BGE5714 chip found in the IBM e326m server recognized by
the bge driver. To do so I was comparing the vendor ID and device ID numbers
from other systems I have and noticed that according the boot logs this
device:
bge0 at pci5:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x01851028 chip=0x165914e4 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
is identified by 6.1-PRE as
bge0: <Broadcom BCM5721 Gigabit Ethernet, ASIC rev. 0x4001> mem 0xdfaf0000-0xdfa
This is what Dell claims is in this server (Dell PE800). However, according
to pciconf -l -v the PCI database claims it is
BCM5750A1 NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express
So something disagrees with something here. I never really opened up this box
to find what chipset was *really* in there, and I send the original PR that
got the PE800 ethernet support into FreeBSD 5.4, so it could be Dell's error
in their literature.
>How-To-Repeat:
n/a
>Fix:
Resolve the inconsistency between if_bgreg.h and if_bge.c and the pciconf
database. I have no idea how to figure out which is more accurate. I suspect
pciconf is.
