Here's the dmesg line after the driver is loaded: tg3.c:v0.90 (Feb 25, 2002) eth1: Tigon3 [partno() rev 7102 PHY(5401)] (PCI:66MHz:64-bit) 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet 00:06:5b:05:f9:8e The machine is a Dell PowerEdge 2550 machine, running RedHat Linux 7.2 (with 2.4.18 kernel). Let me know if you want me to run any specific tests, it's connected to a Cisco switch with gigabit-ports (so I can actually test things like jumboframes if needed). -- Thomas - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
