I have a Dell server with 2 network controllers with a Broadcom BCM5722KFB1G - chip (1 x onboard, 1 x PCI-E). Unfortunately Debian Etch AMD64 does not recognize them.
Somebody did post a workaround on this website: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/freebsd-bugs/2008/1/18/581834 With this workaround these NICs should work with the original drivers that shipped with Debian Etch. But unfortunately I can't find the specified file. (/usr/src/sys/dev/bge) The lines with the + at their beginning should be added to the original file. Is there anybody who has a hint for me? As an alternative the Linux-tg3 driver could get compilied by myself: Dell offers the source code for the driver in their download area (v tg3- 3.81c): http://ftp.us.dell.com/network/Bcom_LAN_11.0_4.1_Linux_Source_A00.tar.gz The according driver source code on the Broadcom website is even a little bit newer (v tg3-3.85l): http://www.broadcom.com/docs/driver_download/570x/linux-3.85l.zip But unfortunately something seems to be wrong with the MAKEFILE . make does not work: ============================================== server-deb: tmp/tg3-381C# make make -C SUBDIRS= tmp/tg3-381C modules make *** SUBDIRS= tmp/tg3-381C: File or folder not found. Stop. make: ***[default] Error 2 ============================================== Any suggestions? Any tips for compiling the driver? Thanks in advance!
