The driver from Broadcom was compiled to a single CPU Kernel and doesn´t work with a SMP-Kernel (Dual Opteron) Isn´t it possible to flash a new MAC into the NICs? Dan wrote:
I've tried tg3 driver in 2.6 but it didn't find either interface. :(

we have some trouble with SuSE 8.2 Beta x86-64
Prof. Ed.
on a TYAN Thunder K8S (S2880) BIOS 2.01 (newest): On installing there are two onboard Broadcom
Gigabit NIS detected
(BCM5704) but if the driver (bcm5700)is loaded
:"cannot get MAC addr
from NVRAM" is displayed and so eth0 and eth1 are
FAILED.
Does the tg3 driver work? There're two different drivers for the cards...
Also the DOS-Diskette-Tool 57udiag.exe from
Broadcom give one error:
"CPU-Test failed: register 5034 is 0xd", rest is
PASSED.
Perhaps a tool for 32bit non-Opteron systems??
A DOS disk should work with any Opteron system.
So, if this does not work, it looks like some hardware problem to me,
