| Code: | su
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig |
You can find the driver here:
-> Device Drivers -> Networking support -> Network device support -> Ethernet (1000 Mbit) -> Broadcom Tigon3 support
Select it as a module by pressing 'M'. Then quit.
| Code: | make
#next line boot not already mounted
mount /dev/'correct-device' /boot
make modules_install install
echo tg3 >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 |
This will create the kernel for you as /boot/vmlinuz, and will autoload the module on bootup.

You can also compile it into your kernel. I do this on laptops often because they don't change hardware easily  |
