Thanks Andi for your suggestion. I loaded -test5 from kernel.org on a dual Opteron server based on TYAN Thunder K8S (S2880) and it works fine without much trouble. The tg3 driver is working for BCM5704. Server reboot didn't bring up the interface automatically. Instead it showed a "Can't get a valid interface name --> skipped" error message. Later I manually bring up the ethernet interface.

For me it works with compiled in tg3.

Now the big question is how I can compile the source for other cards, e.g. 3ware, in 2.6 environment? Can I modify the Makefile so it can compile?

2.6 already has a "3w-xxx.c" driver included. Perhaps that one will work. -Andi
