RedHat Gurus: Here are the steps I have taken thus far to get a Broadcom NetXtreme Gb card to work on my system. This is the second LAN card in this system, and the first one is working fine. 1. I snagged the latest drivers from Broadcom's website (v7.0) and installed them on my RedHat 8.0 server with no errors. I was expecting to see the module listed after running 'lsmod', but it is not there. (My Davicom 10/100 driver shows up as 'dmfe' and it binds to 'eth0' as expected.) 2. I ran 'service network stop' then 'start' and got these errors: ifup: bcm5700 device does not seem to be present, delaying eth1 initilization 3. Now I find the patch for my kernel (pci-rh80-i386.patch) inside the source distribution archive from Broadcom's website. When I try to run "patch -N -p1 -d /usr < pci-rh80-i386.patch", I get a bunch 'o errors: Hunk #1 failed at 5029. 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file share/hwdata/pci.ids.rej blah blah blah This file has several entries for bcm5700 stuff, but I can't figure out why this is failing. Aparently I need this patch in order for kudzu to recognize my card... Any ideas?? ~dean -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
