Strange Netgear GA620T



Hey folks...

I recently picked up a Netgear GA620T because I wanted a board supported buy the "ti" driver for testing.  Plopped it into my test mule and I was surprised with this:

[   1.0000000] vendor 1385 product 610a (miscellaneous prehistoric, revision 0x01) at pci0 dev 10 function 0 not configured

The valid PCI product IDs for the GA620 family are 0x620a and 0x630a.  So, I decided, what the heck, let's make it match 0x610a too!

[   1.0000000] ti0 at pci0 dev 10 function 0: Netgear GA620 1000BASE-T Ethernet (rev. 0x01)
[   1.0000000] ti0: interrupting at irq 9
[   1.0000000] ti0: unsupported chip revision 0x80000000
[   1.0000000] ti0: chip initialization failed

Huh!

Tigon I chip rev is 0x40000000, Tigon II chip rev is 0x60000000.

I'm a little confused... the board is very clearly labeled "NETGEAR GA620T Rev. A".  Linux was no help, they don't seem to have a driver that matches this product ID, either.

What the heck do I have??
