The Debian package bcm5700-source can be used to build a package of the module. However this does not support linking the module into the kernel (for an nfs-root image). This is a minor annoyance for me as I'd like to setup an nfs-root recovery process for my servers... > It sounds like you're having problems with NICs on a PCI card though, > and not the motherboard network interfaces, right? Correct. It's Intel duel-100baseT network cards in the PCI slots. It doesn't matter a lot for me though as most of the machines don't really need more than two Ethernet ports. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
