Have you tried using it, though? Maybe you could twiddle the pcitable file so that it'll use the bcm5700 driver instead (for the purposes of kickstarting the server) and then setup something in your %post section to replace the "bcm7500" with "tg3" in your modules.conf. Basically, if it's stable enough for the length of the kickstart, you might be able to get by. :-) > But I have read from a variety of places this is not a stable driver Are any versions mentioned? We're currently looking at some gear that's using the NetXtreme, and for some reason our HW guys seem really insistent that we go with the bcm5700 driver over the tg3. Turns out that there have been a number of updates to the driver (currently at 2.2.27 as of today), and it looks like there have been some major changes from the versions that folks like Compaq and Dell are shipping.
