Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.15
I need to install a bunch of Esprimos soon, but testing one showed that dapper doesn't recognize the Broadcom 5755 in them. The ID is 14e4:167b, and on edgy it works, but since we are using dapper elsewhere I'd really like this to be supported.

That sounds great, I'll look forward to it.

Have taken the ids from patch and have it my git tree.

will this be merged to ubuntu-dapper.git -tree before next release? Just pulled the current version and it doesn't seem to have this in yet.

a colleague tested my custom-built d-i (with kernel 2.6.15-50.61) and it got to the phase where it was trying to fetch udeb's from the network. So, while I haven't personally verified this, it seems that the backport works!

Seems that this has already been backported successfully in a test kernel, so it would make a good target for the dapper point release.

The dapper-proposed approach with ABI 50 never really took off, readjusting tags and status for standard SRU workflow.

Could not be verified, and Adrian's comment seems to indicate that this needs another patch.

Now there's a new LTS version which does support these devices.. should this bug be marked as wontfix?

let's not pretend this will get in dapper.

Need to backport this patch. May be a good idea to just backport tg3 from latest kernel, since there's ~4 other chipsets added since 2.6.15.
