Hi.

        I'm trying to install Solaris 9 x86 on Dell 2650.
In fact I did but have some problems with onboard GbE - it's Broadcom
(BCM5701) - Broadcom does only supply drivers for Solaris 7 & 8. If I use
drivers for Solaris 8 - it almost works but I go a lot of messages in
/var/adm/messages and console like:

Jul 10 15:51:43 test bcme: [ID 257939 kern.notice] flwatn = 0x0
Jul 10 15:51:43 test bcme: [ID 797970 kern.notice] LM_ServiceInterrupts
Jul 10 15:51:44 test bcme: [ID 894289 kern.notice] status = 0x5
Jul 10 15:51:44 test bcme: [ID 257939 kern.notice] flwatn = 0x0
Jul 10 15:51:44 test bcme: [ID 797970 kern.notice] LM_ServiceInterrupts
Jul 10 15:51:44 test bcme: [ID 894289 kern.notice] status = 0x5
Jul 10 15:51:44 test bcme: [ID 257939 kern.notice] flwatn = 0x0
Jul 10 15:51:44 test bcme: [ID 797970 kern.notice] LM_ServiceInterrupts
Jul 10 15:51:44 test bcme: [ID 894289 kern.notice] status = 0x5

Does anybody know about different drivers or maybe some solution to these
warnings?

btw: I get really slow throughput (~3MB/s)..., and while tranfering files
(ftp, scp) system almost is not responding (both CPU are in 100% sys).

btw: what about onboard RAID controler - did anybody get it to work with
     Solaris 9 x86?
