I have a P4SSE-G2, and after installing Red Hat 7.3, it fails to bring up Eth0, and I get an error message when installing the driver from your CD. What happens?
This can happen if you connect the onboard gigabit LAN to a 10/100 hub, please use below workaround to solve this:
1. Edit modules.conf in /etc, place a "#" on the eth0 tg3, then copy the driver (bcm5700-2.2.20.tar.gz) from the driver CD to the /tmp directory. Unzip the tar file and follow the readme instructions on how to install the driver.
2. Edit modules.conf again and remove the "#" and change eth0 gt3 to eth0 bcm5700.o
3. Type "service network restart", and the connection will be made.
