In Mandriva 2010.1 we noticed that 2.6.33.7 broke ssb/Broadcom lan for
several users...

Issue is tracked at:
https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=60968

Reverting the commit restores a working lan.

The offending commit is:

Please always CC: netdev on networking reports, otherwise you are
very unlikely to get any experts looking into your issue.

IIRC, there was a bad patch that got sent for the 2.6.33.y series.
I thought it had been reverted or fixed already?


Nope.

It got added in 2.6.33.7
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.33.y.git;a=commit;h=6fb037c2ed8378c7ab0c1e00536ba6b2a866503e


After checking some more...

I see the revert of the broken patch was done in 2.6.34.3 and a set of ssb patches replacing it...

but it didn't happend for 2.6.33.y
