Hello!Probably unrelated, but what's eth0?
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.htmlI have that chip in a system, but I didn't find it quickly, it may be at another location, unless the controller which shows up as 3C940 on my ASUS P4P800 is the Broadcom.
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.
