Subject: transmit timeouts with b44 and 2.6.2

Hi !

We have a bcm 4400 based NIC which has transmit timeouts with the b44 module. It
works fine with broadcom's bcm4400 module and a 2.4.x module.

These bug entries,

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=257

seem to say that they are no problems left, but this card is still not working
with my 2.6 kernel.

So is someone still working on the bugs ?
Why not integrating the bcm4400 module (GPLed) and droping this buggy b44 module ?

Regards,

Many thanks for the hint !

Does anyone know if I can apply this 8139too patch to the b44 driver also ?

Cheers,
