Yet another broadcom nic hassle
1st, Knoppix is a Godsend!!!
(Where do I line up to butt-smootch the developer???)
In fact, if I can ever get my silly onboard nic to work, I think I'll ditch Microcrap Winblows entirely (well, except for games....har!)
Ok, enuff psycho-babble...
Like so many others I've seen in these threads, I have a Broadcom 440x onboard nic problem....Knoppix fails to detect, and I'm sure it's due to an IRQ problem. Trouble is, I have no idea how to solve the conflict.
When I 1st boot up Knoppix, I see this at the top of the screen:
"PCI: Device 00:1f:1 not available because of resource collisions"
Upon investigating the dmesg, I also found this:
"PCI: Sharing IRQ 5 with 00:1f.1"
I don't know if these messages have anything to do with my nic, since Winblows reports that my nic is on IRQ 10.
I've gone into my BIOS and tried several things:
- Plug & Play Aware OS = NO (this has solved hassles in the past with redhat)
- changed APIC setting to PIC
- set ALL ISA IRQ's to "NA" (ain't got no stinkin' ISA devices)
I've also tried using combinations of the following cheats:
noapic nosmp nopcmcia dma noscsi lang=en screen=800x600 pci=biosirq
....still no nic.
I have run all the following commands in a shell (both root and regular user) :
netcardconfig = "No supported device found"
modprobe tg3
cat /proc/pci
None of the above commands gave me anything I could see as useful.
So what do I do now?
I really, really, really (have I said really?) want to use Knoppix, but without net access, it's viturtually useless to me.
Also, could someone please tell me how I go about compiling the module for for my nic? I downloaded the source file posted in another related thread (bcm4400-source_1.0.1-1_all.deb).
BTW: I'm running Knoppix v3.2 (2003-06-06) from the CD, but I have myconfig and home on my HDD.
My board is an ASUS P4PE.
Any/all help would be greatly appreciated!
