You need to rebuild your kernel with either the tg3 network driver or get the official open source drivers from Broadcom and build it according to the instructions (recommended). The tg3 driver, in 2.4 kernels at least, has serious stability issues last time I tried to use it. Look here: http://www.broadcom.com/drivers/downloaddrivers.php If you are doing this on an enterprise box that uses the Broadcom Gig-E chipsets (e.g. an HP Proliant or IBM xSeries), it may be preferable to use something like WBEL or CentOS rather than Debian Sarge, and use the officially supported drivers for the corresponding Red Hat Enterprise version. Even though HP or IBM won't support you on this, you at least have the assurance that they've vetted the drivers you're using on that hardware, and have a better chance of getting a more stable system. -- El sue�o de la Razon Produce Monstruos... http://stormwyrm.blogspot.com/ -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
