[Devil-Linux-discuss] Problem with TG3 Module

[Thomas B. <tho...@gv...>]

Hi,
 
We are using Devil-Linux 1.2.13 as OpenVPN Gateway between Branch Office and
our Main Office. The Hardware are Small-Formfactor PC's from Fujitsu-Siemens
to avoid space problems in our 19" Racks. The new PC-Hardware has an
on-board Broadcom NetXtreme 5755 Chipset which is not supportet by the tg3
Kernel Module in the Distribution Image. The tg3 Module, shipped with newer
Kernels has no Problem with this Chipset. 
 
I've tried to get the Broadcom driver working but without success. The
Compilation was not an issue but the compiled Module could not be load. The
Error messages said severel Rsmp-Symbol are missing.
 
Do you have any ideas about how i can solve this issue or perhaps you can
tell me what i must do to update the Module.
 
Thanks for your help
 
Kind Regards
