Yes, it does seem to work without issues, so I will probably end up using it on the kickstart disk, and then possibly use the tg3 driver. Is the driver located on broadcom's site? I can't seem to find the 2.2.27 version you mentioned. That would be very helpful to check out, I wasn't aware that there was active development on the broadcom one. Thanks very much for the info, it is greatly appreciated. --Nick -----Original Message----- From: K .

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.
