Broadcom 440x Ethernet Disconnects While Browsing

Description (last modified by )
I have a Broadcom 440x ethernet port. It works fine if I use Vision, or HaikuDepot but once I try to browser the web (with any browser) it looses connection then connects, then repeats the same message over and over again every few seconds. Even if I close the browser, it still does it.
I have attached a picture of my pci id, a syslog and a listdev.

According to this https://discuss.haiku-os.org/t/broadcom-440x/7200/5 it is still the case.
rudolfc, could you please attach your working driver in case somebody wants to test it?

So, the above driver works correctly on my Dell inspiron 8600 laptop with Pentium-M 1.5Ghz with Intel Centrino technology inside on current nightlies. Even the oldest current online nightlies do not work with their respective driver (constantly disconnect if I generate ethernet traffic).
Additions to that:
- the working driver works OK if I start the laptop with mains power. It will run at 1.5Ghz.
- When I start the laptop on its (full) battery it will run at 600Mhz and even this driver version will constantly disconnect during traffic then.
- removing mains when already running apparantly keeps it running at 1.5Ghz (zo the 'about' Haiku box tells me at least: is that live updated with the speed thing??). Looks like also the ethernet keeps working OK then (Quick test).
- When started on battery, and later plugging in mains keeps the laptop running at 600Mhz (so 'about' tells me)
- When running on 600Mhz the system time runs much faster than realtime. 1.6/0.6 times as fast?
- the quick system time on 600Mhz has been there as long as I can remember (on Haiku).

Is there some testing needed? Because I still have this laptop but it is not used now!

Hi Bruno, Don't really know.
- Maybe you could determine the current version of the driver (nightlies) do not work without constantly disconnecting, while with the one I uploaded installed, this problem occurs much less often. That would then be a confirmation of my findings. I did have a session that went well @600Mhz in the meantime though.
- if your computer supports 64bit (CPU) you might try what happens with nightlies: is 64bit OK or not? I cannot test that because my laptop is a 32bit CPU. (panic when booting 64bit image ;-)
Looks like the driver variants 'touch' a problem, but the source might lie (partly) outside of that driver.. Vague still.

I've got an update on this problem. So all in all also the 'stable' version of the driver from an older nightly is not stable. Disconnects, though a bit less, or it starts a bit later after boot. Also, beta 3 has this.
More observations I've done:
- disconnects initially do not happen after a fresh boot
- if, after boot, I want to do networking, I need to start asap (within approx 1 min I'd say). If I delay starting network traffic, disconnects happen directly.
- cycle trough power-off, power-on has no influence, a direct reboot does the same.
- even when having succesfull comms directly after boot for a long time (approx 10 mins), then at some point the disconnects start to happen.
- Yesterday I connected a USB type ethernet adapter and used that for a while: no disconnects whatsoever. This adapter uses another ethernet driver.
Bruno, maybe you can check to see if what I found is the same for you..?

Recent changes to powerstate management in the freebsd compat layer may affect this, see if things are any different with a recent nightly.

I have no problems with Network connection now... Haiku hrev 56184 32bit works ok here..
Please retest after hrev52114.
