http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/Ethernet_Controllers#Broadcom_Gigabit_.2810.2F100.2F1000.29 has some dirt on that. rmmod was not availble, so I skipped network configuration and whatever else required network access. Rebooted into newly installed system and found that tg3 drver was now working. Added the following to /etc/network/interfaces: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp and did: # ifdown eth0 # ifup eth0 then manually configured /etc/apt/sources.list and I was in business. /Allan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
