Niklas, how do you know your self-compiled driver is actually loaded? I had an issue where the self-compiled driver was installed in /lib/modules/.../extra but not actually loaded by modprobe
have you tried insmod'ing your self-compiled .ko? have to tried putting some printk()s in your self-compiled driver to see if it is actually loaded/executed and how far it gets? you can take this further to see where is actually fails... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1182868 Title: tg3 driver 1.28 does not recognize the NetXtreme BCM57766 chip Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Since 13.04 came out officially, the NetXtreme BCM57766 gigabit ethernet chip is not recognized by the tg3 driver.
