Re: [CentOS] Problem with install Boardcom driver

2008-09-16 Thread Paul Hussein 
I would first download the very latest kernel and build that to see if 
it works


do an lscpi -vv and post the results for the network card

did you have a look at atrpms or dag to see if they have a kernel module 
already built ?


e.g.
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/11/vendor/1800/com/Broadcom%20Corporation.html

It seems that a recent kernel change in the 5.2 series
is conflicting with the broadcom driver, short term you
may be able to work around the issue by downgrading the
kernel to 2.6.18-55 or earlier.

It looks like you are trying to compile the tg3 module.  If so, it is
included in CentOS-5.

$ /sbin/modinfo tg3
filename:   /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.1.10.el5/kernel/drivers/net/tg3.ko
version:3.86
license:GPL
description:Broadcom Tigon3 ethernet driver

You network problem may be due to something else ?
