iMAC with BMC57766 tg3 driver issues - jantoni - 2014-10-16 10:11
Hi,
We have iMACs with Broadcom BCM57766 cards [14e4-1686] unsupported (no entry in tg3.c table). I added a entry in tg3.c table and re-compile ipxe.
Link status tests passed but "dhcp" command reports Error 0x040ee119.
Then I tried to configure iMAC network adapter manually:
ipxe>set net0/ip 10.10.73.125
ipxe>set net0/netmask 255.255.255.0
ipxe>set net0/gateway 10.10.73.1
Ping from DHCP server to iMAC failed.
It seems a issue with de tg3 driver. Are there plans to support this card?
Thanks in advance.

You should get on IRC and talk with one of the core developers to figure out what exactly is the problem with this Broadcom adapter and what is blocking it from working. While you're waiting for the developer to respond you should add the PCI ID into tg3.c, recompile and go through the tests at http://ipxe.org/dev/driver and report what's working and what's failing.
