Could anyone suggest anything? With any other OS the system is fine so I'm guessing it's a kernel bug or so.....Quick overview: What kernel version are you running? Is update-initramfs complaining about the missing firmware as well? From where did you download the firmware. What tg3_tso firmware version did you? Are you saving as root? How does ls -l /lib/firmware/tigon looks like now? What does ifconfig list. Thanks, Frans van Berckel
Hi Frans,previously I got the firmware directly from the site above and simply did a wget to put it into the /lib/firmware directory.
As of now I did what Patrick suggested and ran: apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree
It still didn't work :-([ 43.836916] tg3 0000:00:02.0: eth0: Tigon3 [partno(none) rev 2100] (PCI:66MHz:64-bit) MAC address 00:14:4f:5d:1e:7e [ 43.974266] tg3 0000:00:02.0: eth0: attached PHY is 5704 (10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet) (WireSpeed[1]) [ 44.094448] tg3 0000:00:02.0: eth0: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[0] TSOcap[1]
