Could you give me the FW version (ethtool -i) of the adapter (after be2net successfully probes in a 3.7 kernel.) If the FW version is as old as 2.x, then the culprit commit that broke compatibility with old FW versions on some (BE2) chips I is: commit 1bc8e7e4f36c0c19dd7dea29e7c248b7c6ef3a15 be2net: fix access to SEMAPHORE reg The fix for this is (still on David's net tree I guess): commit c5b3ad4c67989c778e4753be4f91dc7193a04d21 be2net: use CSR-BAR SEMAPHORE reg for BE2/BE3 Dave, can these 2 commits be queued for stable too: commit1: c5b3ad4c67989c778e4753be4f91dc7193a04d21 commit2: 1bc8e7e4f36c0c19dd7dea29e7c248b7c6ef3a15 thanks, -Sathya
