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

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
Yeah, I think I "dropped" support for .33 by then and I really didn't
care anymore.
Note, I have gotten a few rumblings that I should bring .33 back to life
for some loving due to a few distros relying on it, but I need to find
the time in my schedule to do so...
