Hi,

(Joe, Simon, I'm not sure if this counts as "networking" or "driver
model" but figured it was close enough to warrant an Cc).

We're looking at a new board design and are planning on using a
BCM5718 to provide a couple of Ethernet ports. The chipset is
supported in Linux using the tg3.c driver. I was planning on creating
an equivalent driver in u-boot using e1000.c as a guide and probably
borrowing heavily from the Linux driver.

Is anyone else actively looking at Broadcom based chipset/NICs? Any
tips as for where to start or pitfalls to expect?

Regards,
Chris
