Has anyone succeeded in configuring a Broadcom 5700 Gigabit card before? I realize that it's a new piece of hardware, but the drivers are out there. Asus supplies them on their M/B CD, and their available from Broadcom's web-site, but they haven't helped.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've read the documentation for it, and compiled a driver RPM from the source code, but can't set up the I/O and other settings. None of the forums I went to indicated what they might be, and I'm stumped. Also, there's a new (?) AC97 codec chip from Via that handles 6.1 audio which we can't get working (same motherboard as the Broadcom 5700). By the way, for your information, Asus motherboards which use a Chipset cooling fan should be closely watched. If that fan dies, the motherboard will not beep to warn you, or shutdown. The end result is a damaged BIOS, and in my case, one ATi Radeon 7200 had to be tossed out. Lanman
