Hi there,
Yesterday i downloaded the fedora dvd image and installed it on my nc6120 laptop. Installation went perfect but my Broadcom 5705 network card is not working.
So i went to the broadcom site and downloaded the driver. Read the Readme and did exactly what was on the readme file:
rpm -ivh tg3-<version>.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/{redhat,OpenLinux,turbo,packages,rpm ..}
rpmbuild -bb SPECS/tg3.spec (for RPM version 4.x.x)
rpm -ivh RPMS/i386/tg3-<version>.i386.rpm
modprobe tg3
But it is still not working.
I inserted the following on the ifcfg-eth0 file and restarted it:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
HWADDR=00:03:0D:1C:B6:73
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
IPADDR=192.168.2.43
GATEWAY=192.168.2.1
USERCTL=no
IPV6INIT=no
PEERDNS=yes
Still not working. Am i doing something wrong ? or did i forget something?
Removing the tg3 with modprobe or rmmod is not working either. (So i that i can install it again)
Please help ?
Thanks in advance.
kind regards,
Werner
