    Hi Bill,

    Sorry for the previous e-mail, but have in mind that I'm trying to cooperate
    by testing your drivers and
    I am not aware of the rules for declaring a hardware problem in the mailing
    lists. The only way I can send
    you the messages from the kernel is if I rewrite them from the console.
    Here is the information that you requested:

    bge0: <Broadcom BCM5705M Dual Gigabit Ethernet, ASIC rev. 0x3001> mem
    0x90000000-0x9000ffff irq 11 at device 14.0 on pci2
    bge0: firmware handshake timed out
    bge0: RX CPU self-diagnostics failed!
    bge0: chip initialization failed
    device_probe_and_attach: bge0 attach returned 6

    If you need more detailed information, I can send it to you on request.
