We have some machines with dual Broadcom gig cards in them (Dell PE2650s), these use the tg3 driver under RH8/9 and work fine. You may need to add something like this to your modules.conf file though:
/etc/modules.conf: alias eth0 tg3

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??
