Description Russell Stuart 2003-02-21 03:13:11 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021224

Description of problem:
In the kernel, the module for the Broadcom 5700 driver was
renamed from bcm5700 to tg3.  The module is called bcm5700
in kernel-2.4.18-3 and is called tg3 in kernel-2.4.18-24.7.x.
kernel-2.4.18-24.7.x is the latest updated kernel for 7.2,
kernel-2.4.18-3 was the previous update.

Kudzu has never been updated from kudzu-0.99.23-1 - the
original rpm distributed with 7.2.  In particular, the
file /usr/share/kuduz/pcitable was not updated, so kudzu
stopped recognising the Broadcom gigabit ethernet chips
when the kernel update was applied.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a Broadcom 5700 based ethernet card (I was using a
   Dell 2650, which has it built into the motherboard).
2. Install an original copy of 7.2 - note that the Broadcom
   ethernet card works!
3. Apply all current updates.
4. Reboot - note that Broadcom ethernet card no longer works.

Actual Results:  Broadcom 5700 ethernet card stops working.


Expected Results:  Broadcom 5700 ethernet card should not stop working.
