Woo hoo! I did as someone suggested and build all broadcom and tg3 drivers into the kernel. I had previously build tg3 into the kernel, but that didn't work. However, when I was configuring the kernel this time, I noticed some entries about Broadcom PHY. On my laptop, when it boots and gets the the tg3 load, it says something about tg3 and has libphy in brackets. The stuff about Broadcom PHY was never built into the kernel and it wasn't something that I deselected. I'm not sure exactly what portion of this fixed the problem, but at least my ethernet is active when I boot! :-) Thanks to everyone who helped on this! Now, I'm on to working on an audio problem - Can't get audio CD's to play in either kscd or kaffeine. Haven't installed amarok yet. Regards, Colleen
