Re: Question about my Ethernet Cards



Hello,

When I opened "/usr/src/linux_2_6_26/drivers/net/Kconfig", I found the
following:

config TIGON3
	tristate "Broadcom Tigon3 support"
	depends on BROKEN
	depends on PCI

I don't know what does "BROKEN" mean. I couldn't find where to set BROKEN.

I removed "depends on BROKEN" and then executed "make menuconfig", I
could find the option for tg3. However, during the building of the
kernel, there were many comoiling errors for  tg3.c. I think some
symbols in tg3.c depend on other source files.

Could you please tell me why? What does "BROKEN mean" ?  How can I
solve this problem? Thank you very much!
