[newbie] tulip ethernet card woes...

2004-04-02 Thread Phil Vossler
Does anyone know of any issues surrounding use of the tulip ethernet card 
driver under the default 2.6 kernel in Mandrake 10? The ethernet card has 
worked fine with the tulip driver under 9.2.

I'm using drakconnect and it is at the select network interface to configure 
stage that Drakconnect refuses to detect the ethernet card at all (It does 
show the integrated Broadcom NIC on the motherboard). If the tulip driver is 
chosen manually, drakconnect refuses to accept it and returns me to the 
select network interface to configure stage again.

As a test I installed a 2.4 kernel, and drakconnect works just fine and allows 
me to configure my card but of course I want 2.6!

any help appreciated...

Hi Phil,
I'm not sure if this helps. I recently setup an IBM xseries server which has 
an onboard Broadcom NIC. Well, mdk9.2 recognize it as tg3 (a driver said 
developed by redhat). But, with the server comes a driver CD of the NIC, and 
in the readme it says that while the tg3 driver works ok, it's better to 
replace it with a driver from the manufacture (mdk recognize it then by 
bcm5700).

Maybe you can check the manufature website?
