Onboard Eth Card unrecognized by Mandriva 2007 spring

echo2612 · 05-27-2007, 10:59 PM

Hi....

I relatively new in using linux. I have a Lenovo 3000H, with onboard ethernet card : NetLink BCM5786 (Broadcom Corporation).
I try to install mandriva 2007 spring, unfortunately... it seems that the card doesn't recognized by the system.

What i've tried is below... and i have no more idea to solve the problem.

Code:

Thanks!

This driver uses the tg3 module as seen on the broadcom site. So check wether tg3 has been loaded:

Code:

lsmod

If it hasn't do:

Code:

modprobe tg3

If you don't get an error try ifconfig again, if you do get an error like unable to find module, you need to recompile your kernel with tg3 support OR use the following:

THIS LINK

and scroll to tg3, and download it.

Then follow those directions!

Thank u for the answer, and i've tried to follow ur advice, and here is the result :

Code:

[root@localhost qohhar]# modprobe tg3
[root@localhost qohhar]# lsmod

than i tried to download the driver given in the link, and installed it.
here what happened :

Code:

Installation Manual :
Installing Source RPM Package
=============================

The following are general guidelines for installing the driver.

1. Install the source RPM package:

   rpm -ivh tg3-<version>.src.rpm

2. CD to the RPM path and build the binary driver for your kernel:

   cd /usr/src/{redhat,OpenLinux,turbo,packages,rpm ..}

   rpm -bb SPECS/tg3.spec

Code:

Installation process and result :

What should i do? Thanks.....

Hi

I have the same problem with a Lenovo ThinkCentre (BR2 9632).

The lspci is the same as echo2612's output... when I do lsmod, the tg3 module appears in the same way sowed by him... when I download the tg3's rpm I have the same problem (No such file or directory)

I appreciate a lot your help

Thanks in advance

puntjuh · 08-09-2007, 05:23 PM

Do the both of you have your kernel-sources installed?

**Sorry for the late response, i'm busy getting my work-permit for Argentina done, it's a hell of a job**

gramofenomeno · 08-10-2007, 09:21 AM

nop, I've not installed my kernel rpms... I will try it, then I tell you what happened

gramofenomeno · 08-13-2007, 01:23 PM
