[ipxe-devel] [PATCH 3/3] [tg3] Use PCI writes instead of writel() in tg3_transmit()

[Kevin Tran]

Hi Cody,
A few months ago, we have made a lot of fixes in tg3 driver.    There are a lot of flaw in the initialization sequences. The issues you found are *just* some of them.   We have done a lot of testing with a lot of NICs (BCM5719, BCM5720, BCM5764, etc...).  We could install OS with iSCSI boot path and boot from it.  We also installed OS with PXE as well.   We are planning to submit all of these changes shortly.

Kevin

Subject: [ipxe-devel] [PATCH 3/3] [tg3] Use PCI writes instead of writel() in tg3_transmit()

Our Dell R820s reboot with a PCI bus error when they hit the writel().
They survive and even transmit packets if the writel() is replaced with pci_write_config().

Tested on BCM5720 and BCM5754
