I'll try giving our hardware vendor, see what they can do. I thought this bit of information was useful though, but I haven't gotten a chance to check it out yet. I spoke with a contact from RedHat and they informed me that the version of kickstart in CVS has "ethtool" support built-in, so I should be able to use that to set line speed and duplex. --Nick -----Original Message----- From: K .

Nope... apparently they (Broadcom) don't distribute any drivers and rely on their OEMs to handle it (ie, Dell, Compaq, whoever). You might want to try looking through the source to see if there's a developer's email addy you can try. Side note: just tried a kickstart of 7.3 with the 2.2.27 bcm5700 driver, and for some reason the card can't set up a defaultroute... so maybe that's not the best route to be going down. :-) -- Kelley Spoon Main: 210-892-4000 Rackspace Managed Hosting Fax: 210-892-4329 112 East Pecan, Suite 600 Email: kspoon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx San Antonio, TX 78205 <http://www.rackspace.com> _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Notice: This e-mail message, together with any attachments, contains information of Merck & Co., Inc.
