did you install 2.4.9-e.3smp yourself or did it come preloaded ? Also we recommend using tg3 always. We installed it from the disk provied with our server. I think someone from tech support told us to use bcm5700 in place of the tg3. Is this not correct? Can I just replace bcm5700 entry in modules.conf with tg3? How can I make usre tg3 driver is installed, and what if it's not? we haven't changed bcm5700 so I'm really surprised it stopped working. But the included tg3 driver (indeed just change modules.conf) is a LOT better nowadays I will switch it to tg3, but I don't see the tg3.o in the 2.4.9- e.30smp kernel directory. How can I install the driver? Only in: /lib/modules/2.4.9-e.3smp/kernel/drivers/net/tg3.o /lib/modules/2.4.9-e.3/kernel/drivers/net/tg3.o /lib/modules/2.4.9-e.27/kernel/drivers/net/tg3.o /lib/modules/2.4.9-e.27smp/kernel/drivers/net/tg3.o It may be in drivers/addon. In any case, the solution is to switch to tg3. |
