MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I have a PCI express BCM5751 NIC using the tg3 driver. If I build the driver statically, it fails to identify the network card - no kernel log messages or anything. It works as expected when built modular. Platform is x86_64 running native 64bit code. # lspci -vvxs 2:0.0 0000:02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 01) Subsystem: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- SERR-
