 |
|
hi there!
i have big troubles with my new notebook..
My network does not work.
I have a router which is working as a dhcp server in my network.
| Code: |
Failed to bring eth0 up
netmount was not started..
|
or when i make static ip adresses it starts up but when i want to ping my router, it says that the network is unreachable...
in /etc/conf.d/net there is only:
ifconfig -a says:
| Code: |
eth0
-00
inet addr:192.168.0.2 Bcast: 192.168.0.255 Mask: 255.255.255.0

but which driver should i select for my network card?
i don't think i can select a driver witch looks like one for my card when using menuconfig
| Code: |
Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5788 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 03)
|
btw. i am now working with the 2.4.22 kernel, maybe thats the problem?
should i use 2.6 instead? |

I believe that you want the tg3 driver: | Code: | Network device support --->
Ethernet (1000 Mbit) --->
<M> Broadcom Tigon3 support |

if you have compiled it as module, you need to do a modprobe tg3 or whatever your module is called.

| You might try the 2.4.25 kernel or the 2.6 kernel. Google searches for BCM5788 and tg3 seem to be for >2.4.23. Maybe it's new? |
