I am not subscribed to this list so please CC answers to my mail address. THX! I recently replaced the mainboard of one of my servers with a Tyan Tomcat K8E. The onboard gigabit NIC is a Broadcom BCM5721. After compiling and loading the tg3 driver in Kernel 2.6.21.5, the interface could not be configured: "Device not found". While searching the net i found a few other people with the same problem but no solution. By coincidence i found that a simpe "ifconfig eth1" worked OK and afterwards the device could be configured and used as desired. After searching this list, i found this posting http://uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0409.0/0224.html by someone with obviously the same problem. Has some patch of the driver been reversed or is the hardware buggy? BTW the chip is connected via PCI Express. timbo - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
