Strange. I'm a huge BroadCom fan. We had problems with their interfaces (multicast) and they released a new driver within a week! So, what you can try is to download the latest driver from their site. Oh, and you could try to load the driver manually: modprobe bcm5700 Succes! Regards Harry

I buy suse 9.1 yesterday. At the finish of setup I discover that the broadcom integrated network adapter in my ibm thinkpad G40 not is recognized by suse 9.1 I try to load different modules, I googling... but I don't find any help about. I test also suse 9.1 on a ibm x235 where is the same broadcom nic with the same result, no network card.
if I use ifconfig it is possible to configure nic, as eth0, but when I ping a host from the same subnet, it appear "network unreacheable"...
Do anyone have the same problem and think a solution?

after try to follow your suggest... (thanks for attention), the problem is unsolved. I tried to load one after one all the nic drivers show from YaST menu, and to write manually tg3 or bcm5700 in the appropriate field, the result is the same: "network unreacheable". I must be think suse forget ibm bcm?? -- Calogero Bonasia Linux User #301822
