[DSM 6.2 Loader]

Was hoping it would be a simple driver issue.

Do we know if we could expect another boot loader for the older DS3615xs now everyone is developing with the 918+?

Since there is a big userbase with HP Microserver G7,

it would be nice to have support for the builtin NIC, HP NC107i based on BCM5723.

It has been supported up until now, when 6.2.1 broke it.

 

Anyone have any ideas here. From what i can gather 6.2.1 has broken tg3 (used by broadcom and others). HP Microserver Gen8 relies on this for its HP Ethernet 1Gb 2-port 332i Adapter (2133). 6.2 and 6.2.1 use same kernel level driver. For now i have put in a PCIE Intel NIC but need to free this port up for SATA card

 

I have tried to recompile the drivers and add both to Juns loader 1.03b and manually (usr/lib/modules and .firmware + modprobe and insmod)

No joy, just get the following error in DMESG and insmod just hangs

Weird that the device is detected and driver assigned - perhaps driver is bad in this update? ifconfig shows nothing

Comparing 6.2 to 6.2.1 i can see both are kernel 3.10.105 and make use of the tg3 kernel driver tg3.c:v3.132 (May 21, 2013)
