BCM5703 support under kernel 2.6

Hi,
I try to use kernel 2.6.16 and 2.6.18 on BL20p G4 but BCM5703 cards are down. I have tried these kernels on DL360 (with BCM5704) it was OK.

Can you help me to solve this problem?

Re: BCM5703 support under kernel 2.6

Do a "modprobe tg3"

The tigon3 driver supports the whole bcm57XX series gigabit chips. The core chip in the 57XX series is code named "tigon3" and is found as a module "tg3.ko" in a generic 2.6.18 kernel image.


Debian GNU/Linux for the Enterprise! Ask HP ...

Thx for your help, unfortunately tg3 is loaded already (V3.65) :-( something other is wrong...

Re: BCM5703 support under kernel 2.6

I've found that the tg3 driver will not claim 5708's - for those one needs bnx2 (or is it just called BNX). anyway, the tg3 driver _should_ claim 5703's. Are you certain they are 5703's and not something else?

Bela,

What distro is this? If RHEL or SLES then just download and install the ProLiant Support Pack and it will detect your NIC and install the correct drivers.

HTH,

Re: BCM5703 support under kernel 2.6

Hi Rick,

Submitting lspci command it indicates that there are BCM5703s:

npdb2-kf:~# lspci |grep Ether

Hi Ross,

I work with Debian 3.1 sarge, kernels are made from source.

Re: BCM5703 support under kernel 2.6

I'm wondering if lspci is correct. I did a bit of looking on www.hp.com and it seems the onboard chips on the BL20P G4 is the NC373i. I'm far from an expert on ProLiant NIC names, but that one sounded rather "new" which made me wonder if it was indeed a BCM5703. Doing a bit of web searching suggests that the NC373i is based on the BMC5708, which IIRC needs the bnx/bnx2 driver not the tg3 driver.

Re: BCM5703 support under kernel 2.6

I think Rick is right. There should be 2 on-board 5708 devices plus 2 additional 5708 devices. I don't know why lspci is identifying them as 5703. Please provide the output of lspci -xxx.

Unfortunately, I have not seen face to face the server, it is a G3...

Re: BCM5703 support under kernel 2.6

It is very strange that booting with 2.6 more than 1 device uses interrupt 5:

Re: BCM5703 support under kernel 2.6

Broadcom advised:

Response from Broadcom: Boot with "noapic" and "noacpi" option and let me know if this makes any changes.

these options caused the IRQ "jam" I think...

Re: BCM5703 support under kernel 2.6

Based on the lspci -xxx output, the devices are real 5703 rev B0, not 5708. So this machine must not be a BL20p. The tg3 driver is the correct driver for these devices.

You can try ethtool -t ethx after ifconfig ethx up to see if the devices pass the self test.

Re: BCM5703 support under kernel 2.6

Dear Michael and Rick,

You are right: it is BL20p G3! I am 200km far from the server and our customer (who is the owner of the machine) said that it is G4...

The answer for ethtool test is:

pilot-tranzit2:~# ethtool -t eth0
Cannot test: Operation not supported

Re: BCM5703 support under kernel 2.6

confusions like that is why I so very much like the HP-UX "model" command:

$ model
9000/785/J5600

I suppose there may be something similar for some of the ProLiant OSes, or maybe one of these days.

What version of tg3 are you using? It must be quite old if it doesn't support ethtool -t.

ethtool -i eth0 will print the version.

Re: BCM5703 support under kernel 2.6

Hi,

Real reason of this problem was that interface numbering changed in 2.6 not the tg3. :-))))

2.4 2.6
eth0 -> eth3
eth1 -> eth0
eth2 -> eth1
eth3 -> eth2

Regarding "model" command, you may use
