Hi * Firstly, I don't know if I should open a bug in bugme.osdl.org or something, please tell me :) sikanda-10:50:52:~$ uname -a Linux sikanda 2.6.0-test5 #5 mar sep 30 15:30:27 CEST 2003 i686 GNU/Linux I can't get the Broadcom card work when I go from work (100 Mbit/s LAN) to home (10 Mbit/s LAN). It even can't get an IP address from DHCP. The only solution is boot the PC with the 2.4.21 kernel with the Broadcom original driver and wait till it gets the IP, then reboot with the 2.6 kernel and it already works. I've already tried compiling b44 as a module and as builtin, same behaviour. So, I get this in my /var/log/messages: When it doesn't work: > ----8<---- cut here ----8<---- Oct 1 09:34:41 sikanda vmunix: b44.c:v0.9 (Jul 14, 2003) Oct 1 09:34:41 sikanda kernel: eth0: Broadcom 4400 10/100BaseT Ethernet 00:0b:db:18:7d:eb Oct 1 09:34:47 sikanda vmunix: b44: eth0: Link is down.
