Plans to support card Broadcom Net Extreme II - BCM5709 (14e4:1639)

[alexz]

I’ve encountered a very unpleasant surprise the other day, it appears that the network card Broadcom Net Extreme II BCM5709 (14e4:1639) on my Dell Power Edge 610 is not supported by iPXE. I’ve looked at the source code /src/drivers/net/bnx2.c and it appears that there is no driver support for this card.

To complicate things even more, I cannot change the mother board NIC nor I can add another PCI card.

Are there any plans to support this card at least basics?

Thank you.

P.S. Excellent project. Extremely useful and works on every other box I tried so far including VMs.
