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
