bcm5700 driver works for me in 2.4 kernel without any
extra work. But I had similar problem and question if
running 2.6 kernel. Since bcm5700 driver is not part
of 2.6 kernel (only tg3) I tried downloading linux
driver from broadcom web site. However the compiled
bcm5700.o doesn't load in 2.6. I noticed the modules
in 2.6 are named after ko extension. How do I load .o
module in 2.6?
Thanks a lot,
-Dan

Hello,
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. 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??
Any clues? --
Mit freundlichsten Gr��en / With best regards ----
