Hey,
I have a laptop that is built with the Broadcom 44XX network card, when I boot from the Gentoo live-cd it doesnt recognize this NIC, I've downloaded the source code of the driver from Broadcom and compiled the sources of the driver under another Gentoo linux(since the livecd does not have a compiler), then I tried to copy the compiled module into the livecd and insmod it, as a reslt I got the following output:
| Code: |
bcm4400.o: bcm4400.o: unresolved symbol proc_mkdir_Rb71168fa
bcm4400.o: bcm4400.o: unresolved symbol eth_type_trans_Rcdea68ed
bcm4400.o: bcm4400.o: unresolved symbol __netdev_watchdog_up_R846a231f
bcm4400.o: bcm4400.o: unresolved symbol __kfree_skb_R7f0d7ab3
bcm4400.o: bcm4400.o: unresolved symbol skb_over_panic_R3a7efab4
bcm4400.o: bcm4400.o: unresolved symbol netif_recieve_skb_R8275
bcm4400.o: bcm4400.o: unresolved symbol alloc_skb_R8573310f

and some other unresolved symbols,
Any idea why that happens? maybe I must have the Kernel's soruce codes and the LiveCD does not include it?
any idea?
Thanks. |

| No idea how to solve the compiler problem, but have you tried after booting the LiveCD? The broadcom driver should be on the CD, even if it isn't automatically loaded. |

doesnt work,
well I found a PCMCIA NIC card of 3com, when I run /etc/init.d/pcmcia start it fires up the interface but I get errors such as:
eth0: command 0x2800 did not complete!
It seems that the driver that cardmgr loaded (3c575_cb) is wrong or something, Knoppix loads the module 3c59x.o module and the interface works just fine! i tried to load the 3c59x module under the gentoo by myself but it does not recognize the IRQ correctly (shows IRQ 0),
any ideas?
thanks. |
