I just installed Fedora core 2. Then I downloaded the driver for the ethernet card from broadcom site (bcm5700-5.0.5.tar.gz) that seems to be for generic linux distributions. I try to install both the tar ball and the rpm and I do not suceed in installing the module. The module compiles successfully but when doing insmod bcm5700 I get an error: /lib/modules/*/kernel/drivers/net/bcm5700.o: init_module: No such device Any idea? Thanks!
