Michael,
Peter bounced this email to me after we talked about issues he was
having with the rx8620 (HP 16-way ia64, sx1000 chipset) "IOX Core LAN".
It sounded like the same problem I tracked down with rx8620 IOX Core LAN
in March.  Here is the summary :

| In May, 2004,  tg3 v3.4 changed how MAC_LED_CTRL (0x40c) was getting
| programmed and how to determine what to program into LED_CTRL. The new
| code trusted NIC_SRAM_DATA_CFG (0x00000b58) to indicate what to write
| to LED_CTRL and MII EXT_CTRL registers. On "IOX Core Lan", SRAM was
| saying MODE_MAC (0x0) and that doesn't work.
Thanks Grant, I'll chase this down and find a solution to this problem.
