You
need to download and install the src rpms from broadcom.com for the BCM570x and
BASP module. Then you can do the rpmbuild -bb. Then install the
RPM.
Once
that is done, you can install the module and configure
teaming.
Alternatively, you can upgrade the kernel to 2.4.2x and use the installed
TG3 drivers with "bonding".

Subject: bcm5700 and basp
Hi,
Still a bit of a newbie ....
I am trying to install BASP on an IBM HS20 Blade running RHEL ES 2.1 which requires the bcm5700 driver.
Firstly, when running "rpm -bb SPEC/basplnx.spec" from /usr/src/redhat/ I get "SPEC/basplnx.spec: No such file or directory". Is this because the wrong drivers are installed? lsmod shows tg3 - not bcm5700.
Secondly, TG3 and bcm5700 comes with RHEL ES 2.1. I can rmmod tg3 but when I insmod bcm5700 I get:
"/lib/modules/2.4.9-e.24/kernel/drivers/addon/bcm5700/bcm5700.o: init_module : No such device" - and yes I have double checked the Broadcom NIC's are installed ...... ;o)
I only have the base OS installed - no updates/patches yet (we do plan on patching the OS later). I have seen some threads in this list about creating a boot.img with bcm5700 for Redhat 9 but seeing that it comes with the RHEL ES base and that it is allready installed assume this approach is redundant.
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.
