[Joseph Salisbury <joseph.salisbury@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report on this issue.

However, given the number of bugs that the Kernel Team receives during
any development cycle it is impossible for us to review them all.
Therefore, we occasionally resort to using automated bots to request
further testing. This is such a request.

  With the recent release of this Ubuntu release, would like to confirm
if this bug is still present. Please test again with the newer kernel
and indicate in the bug if this issue still exists or not.

You can update to the latest development kernel by simply running the
following commands in a terminal window:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If the bug still exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to
Confirmed. If the bug no longer exists, change the bug status from
Incomplete to Fix Released.

If you want this bot to quit automatically requesting kernel tests, add
a tag named: bot-stop-nagging.

 Thank you for your help, we really do appreciate it.


** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

Title:
  Broadcom cardreader cant format/write Image to SdCards

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Description:

  It is impossible to either format a sdcard or write an image to it with dd or other tools. While formating (either with palimpsest, gparted or mkfs) the process just hangs without explicit errors. the dmesg shows the below listed errors.
  Just using palimpsest under 13.10 gives the below listed error.

  Its is possible to read from the card though and it is possible to write files <350 mb to the sd card. i used and cross checked four different sd cards which all worked nice on other systems.
  The problem persists using the freshest kernel available, i tested it with 14.04 daily and arch live.

  Another interesting fact is tha Ubuntu seems not to be able to load the relevant Firmware while booting up:
  Failed to load firmware "tigon/tg357766.bin"
  I already asked Broadcom for a firmware/driver for this netXtreme combo lan-sdcardreader chip, but they replied that they are not supporting Linux, although they have a driver downloadable for Linux at their Website.

  
  Patch:

  I found this patch which may be related/ be a solution for this Problem. But i dont know if this Patch is applieable against a actual Kernel, and i dont know how to use it in general.
