Networking :: DHCP from ifconfig??

Hello,

have same kind of Problem.
have a Broadcom NetXtreme card and can not get it running.

Does any one have a solution ?

Maybe you are trying the wrong driver for your card.

Give the bcm5700 driver a try. It is located in the SYSTEM area of the mydsl repository.

Hello,

Thanks for the tip !
i downloaded the bcm5700 mydsl extension.

Now i got the following question :
I have a running HD install with an e1000 as a base to make a DSL Remaster.
I had the problem that at my friend my remastered CD did not work, because
he has such an adapter (HP Workstation).
How to handle that the driver will be used / probed in my new live-cd as
all other drivers ?

Many thanks to all helpers !
Frank

Followed the suggestion to try the "mydsl" bcm5700 but still no luck.

The Broadcom B44 works fine in Feather, so I tried copying the "b44.o" file from Feather to DSL but no difference.

Is it possible that the reason it works in Feather and not DSL is that Feather uses the 2.4.27 kernel and DSL the 2.4.26 kernel?

There is a b44.o file inside DSL, so the built-in module should work with the DSL kernel.

Just typing

sudo su
modprobe b44

produced a "no such device" message for me (as expected since I don't actually own this network card) which is expected behavior for the driver module.
