It is "Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5756ME Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express" and previously I've downloaded firmware from http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware-from-kernel.git;a=tree;f=tigon and put it in /lib/firmware/tigon The config option is tg3, built into the kernel. dmesg shows: $ dmesg | grep -i tg3 tg3.c:v3.102 (September 1, 2009) tg3 0000:09:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 tg3 0000:09:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 tg3 0000:09:00.0: firmware: requesting tigon/tg3_tso.bin tg3: tg3_load_firmware_cpu: Trying to load TX cpu firmware on eth0 which is 5705. tg3: tg3_load_firmware_cpu: Trying to load TX cpu firmware on eth0 which is 5705. I don't know if the last two lines are normally there or not. The firmware at the above link hasn't changed (according to cksum). Google searches only produce the source code, which is pretty but doesn't help. The error detection around the print message hasn't changed since -r1. Any ideas? I'm stuck using wireless, but that's dropping in and out all the time! thanks, -- Iain Buchanan Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you recognize a mistake when you make it again. -- Franklin P.
