However, no 'Kernel modules' line is visible in the lspci output. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Buy a Dell Inspiron 570 (I bought mine 3 weeks ago, http://configure.euro.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?oc=d005736&c=nl&l=nl&s=dhs&cs=nldhs1&kc=inspiron-570 with default settings) 2. Install F12 3. Check the interface status Actual results: No NIC visible Expected results: NIC visible Additional info: I'm not sure if this is a kernel problem, a firmware-addon-dell problem, or something else.
I'm having the same problem on a Dell 580s system with the same card. By running: insmod /lib/modules/2.6.32.11-99.fc12.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/phy/broadcom.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.32.11-99.fc12.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/tg3.ko ifconfig eth0 up dhclient eth0 I get an IP address. So the driver is present, at least in this updated kernel. However, I have not yet gotten it to load on boot or display through Network Manager.
