Hello, I have been trying to get the Broadcom BCM5700 drivers compiled into linux-2.2.21 without success. The sources I have compile correctly as a module (bcm5700.o) and get loaded without problems into 2.2.21. When I tried to manufacture my own patch file (from the original 2.4.20 version) and adapt it to compile into 2.2.21, it compiles fine but on boot the kernel doesn't seem to initialise the card (it's not detected). /proc/pci shows two ethernet cards found on the bus but it can't identify them. I have checked and rechecked the Makefiles and Config.in files for the sources and the compile doesn't display any errors. Two questions please: 1. How can I identify that the monolithic kernel has infact installed the drivers correctly (dmesg shows nothing) 2. Is there any other reason that someone can think of as to why these same sources that work as a module under 2.2.x won't work as a compiled-in driver, even though it compiles and links cleanly? Thanks, Andrew. ps. Can you please cc me directly.
