Hi,

We managed to successfully apply the following patch for the Broadcom BCM95751M Gigabit ethernet controller from the NetBSD kernel mailing list then rebuilt G4U from source.

Performance seems very slow but this may be because it is the old CVS NetBSD tree from the G4U web page.

The other option was to use Ghost4Linux that Michael Setzer emailed the list about which
does detect the card correctly and it operates and the full speed.

ftp://amd64gcc.dyndns.org/g4l-0.17pp.iso

We have also found that clearing the Windows pagefile on exit and temporaily disabling hibernation help reduce the size as well as the time it take's to image.

Hi Hubert,

I tried the G4U on IBM ThinkPad T43p but no network. After issuing the
command ifconfig -a, the status saying that "no network". I think the
problem is the G4U kernel do not have proper drive for the network card "Broadcom NetXtreme Fast and Gigabit Ethernet". I tried on T40p with Intel
Pro 100 network card and it worked.
