Broadcom chipset based modems...Warning!

Most and ALL cable modems FW comes from the cable modem Mfr. Then passes to the ISPs for there continued testing and certification. Once they certify that it works on there network, then they are the ones who push it out to the connected modems. Users will not ever see FW updates they can update themselves. Updates will always come from the ISP!!!

For this problem however, the chip set Mfr, i.e. Broadcom has to make the change. Then they will pass it to the cable modem Mfrs for integration. Then the process starts again with the cable modem Mfrs passing to the ISPs for testing and certifiation. 

Also Some ISPs don't or won't update user owned Modems. So you'll need to ask your ISP about his. 

Users will need to wait and be patient while the chipset Mfr review, test and fixes this problem. Broacom has made no accouncement acknowlegeding the problem that I can tell. All we can do is wait for the fix to eventually come thru. When and If it does. 

So don't bother trying to get anything from NG. They have to wait for the fix to come from Broadcom. 

I hope Broadcom processes all this faster than Intel did with the Puma issue. Took years for Intel to acknowledge the problem and come out with fixes. 

BE PATIENT!
