I've been playing around with the tigon3 driver and a broadcom
5307 gigabit NIC in my IBM ebony... No luck so far.  The driver compiles
and even loads, I can run ifconfig(busybox really) to configure
the NIC,  and if I pull the network cable, the driver seems to
notice (get log messages about link is down, link is up) but so
far, I can't actually transmit or receive any packets.

Anyone had any luck with this combination?

Ok, I have determined that my problem lies in user-land, not
the kernel.  Using the same kernel, but with a more elaborate
start-up scripts/root filesystem (those from DENX ELDK-1.0)
it works fine.

Using my minimal rootfs, with busybox, tinylogin, it doesn't
work.  Is there anything needed to get the broadcom 5703 going
besides ifconfig?

Well, I now have a root filesystem that works and one that
doesn't so I can slowly make one more like the other until
I see which piece is the culprit/magic.

Thanks,
