Broadcom 5705M

That is built-in NIC in the Dell laptops these days. It is a Tigon-3 variant
apparently. Device id is 165d.
QNX6.3 devn-tigon3.so loads fine and creates the en0. But soon as you plug
cable in, the system freezes hard.

Any advice?

Wait. The device is a very crippled version of the tigon3 (no jumbo
frames, different packet handling, etc). I tried to hack the devn-tigon3.so
to get it to work on an Acer laptop but gave up since we didn’t have docs at
the time. Since it is the chipset on a lot of laptops being used within R&D
at QSS, I am sure support will surface one day.

Okay. But freezing the comp is kinda extreme. Talk about ‘inherent
reliability’ and advantages of running drivers in user space :wink:

Hardware, if improperly addressed, can always freeze the computer
hard. Nothing the OS can do about it.
