Broadcom NIC
hi everyone
ive just installed deb sarge on a nice 1ru dual opteron. everything went
smoothly, however im not getting the dual broadcom nics for some reason.
they are without a doubt there, i just think that the driver doesnt
recognise the pci id. (these cards should be BCM57xx, using the tg3
driver)
lspci
02:03.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation Unknown device 0000 (rev
03)
02:03.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation Unknown device 0000 (rev
03)
there they are
lspci -n -v
02:03.0 0200: 14e4:0000 (rev 03)

i have run update-pciids, but a manual search shows that 14e4:0000 is not
at all recognised!?
i also tried building the old driver module-assistant
build ok, but wont load into the 2.6.17 kernel =\
any thoughts on it?
