Xen users - Nov 2006 - Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 bnx2 bridging

I am having the same problem. But, I cannot access to the following link
for solution
http://wiki.ncsa.uiuc.edu/wiki/Dell_PE1950_NIC_Firmware_Workaround

Can someone send me the content of this link?

Thanks.

		Gigabit Ethernet (rev 11)

		Using the bnx2 module:

		from the debian xen kernel:

		Linux xen 2.6.16-2-xen-686 #1 SMP Sun Jul 16 01:42:25
UTC 2006 i686
		GNU/Linux

		In a dell poweredge 1950

		If I swap eth0 from the broadcom to a usb ethernet card
using the
		rtl8150 driver, the bridging works immediately.

		I''m using the debian sid xen packages xen-utils
3.0.2+hg9697-2

		I''ve put a tcpdump prepared for ethereal from the xen
dom0 here:

		http://www.yerma.org/~pete/temp/xen/dom0

		And one from the gateway here:

		http://www.yerma.org/~pete/temp/xen/gateway

		Obviously I can work around this using the usb ethernet
card, but I''d
		prefer to use the gigabit nics that I''ve paid for.

		Thanks.

Sorry about that.  We had to rename that machine.  The new URL is:

<http://wiki.ncsa.uiuc.edu/wiki/Dell_PE1950_NIC_Firmware_Workaround>http://mywiki.ncsa.uiuc.edu/wiki/Dell_PE1950_NIC_Firmware_Workaround

Coincidentally, the outage for the weekly backups is happening right 
now.  The link should work again in a couple of hours.
