Well ,I must admt when I posted the original message, I had looked at the tg3.c only in 2.4.20-8 kernel (since I inteneded then to test only in 2.4.20.* kenels) and I saw in the beginning of the file only David S. Miller (of RH) and Jeff Garzik as authors , and no mention of Broadcom invlovemrnt. Following the answers I got I had looke at a newer kernel ; (2.6.12-rc3) and there wasn't a changes detail description there (as sometimes do occur), but the following lines were added: * Copyright (C) 2004 Sun Microsystems Inc. * Copyright (C) 2005 Broadcom Corporation. * * Firmware is: * Copyright (C) 2000-2003 Broadcom Corporation. So I assume that they Broadcom added something (starting somewhere in etween these 2 versions) without specifying exactly what. Best thing will probably test also with a new kernel, with both drivers ,tg3.c and the bcm5700, in all scenarios.
