Hello James and Ken, Both of you are having real problems with the bcm driver and both of you have a Dell 8500.
This is James' dmesg output, which from memory looks very similar to your Ken? > bcm0: <Broadcom 10/100 Base-T Ethernet> mem 0xfaffe000-0xfaffffff irq 11 > at device 0.0 on pci2 > bcm0: Ethernet address: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff > panic: bcm0: Strange type for core 0xffffffff > I'm running 5.1-current from august 22nd. I can try pulling down the > latest 5.1 tommorow if you think this might help. This is the same result > as when I tried the driver from over a month ago. We think that the problem is something to do with the PCI configuration of the machine. The ethernet address being ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff indicates that the memory map is not right. > Before sending this email I was going to obtain a backtrace.
