Hi all, just wondering if anyone out there has implemented a Broadcom NIC driver?

If you're looking for a working example maybe check out the Linux or FreeBSD source code.

Not that I'm aware of. I started a driver for the 57XX series but did not complete RX/TX functionality. Broadcom seems a bit more complicated compared to the Realtek or Intel NICs.

Thanks, I had the Linux source code but found it was fragmented, making it a little difficult to navigate.
Just downloaded FreeBSD, this is much better to follow.
Both have plenty of code.

Yes, Intel was a breeze.
I have downloaded a few broadcom programmers guides.
They are a great read, very exciting, RDMA etc...
I did find them lacking in examples and the flow was a little tricky to follow.
Might just be the ones I have?
Looks like a great NIC though.
