The tg3 driver module is an open source driver for the Broadcom Gig NIC's and some 3com Nics as well.hi Ben, so what should i do now ..please advise. All the cards comes default with the machines.
The bcm5700 is a binary driver that broadcom provides.
I think that by default kudzu will prefer the tg3 module.
But for some Broadcom NIC chipsets (in combination with some switches)
the bcm5700 works better, for others the tg3 seems to work better.
I have many Dell servers with these NIC's and some don't work,
some work with the tg3 driver and some with the bcm5700....
Well, first I would try changing the t3g in the /etc/modules.conf file
to tg3, and doing a depmod -a and then doing a service network reload.
Check the output of lsmod and see if tg3 is there?
If it is, test your network connectivity, if not, then
Try changing the tg3 to bcm5700 and doing a service network reload.
then do an lsmod and see if bcm5700 is there.
Then once again, if it is test your network connectivity.
