Hp Compaq d530 ultra-slim desktop=>LAN NOK,iso26/07
present lan chip : Integrated Broadcom NetXtreme 10/100/1000 (Gigabit) Ethernet for HP.
No driver loaded for this type of card
ISO distribution using : 26/07/2003
Question :
Does knoppix already handle Gigabit networkcards ?
Anybody encountered this problem before ?
Hi,
I have a similar issue. I am using an IBM X Series PC305 with the Broadcom NetXtreme. When I boot with Knoppix, initially the BIOS loads the Broadcom driver, then Knoppix boots. However I can't get the card to negotiate to 1Gbps, only 100Mbps. Can anyone please help?
Many Thanks
Ian
Hi,
I can run traffic over the Broadcom NetXtreme, but mii-tool -v does not display what the actual speed and duplex settings are. Is there another way I can try to find this out please?
Many Thanks

The problem isn't the 1Gb option.
But the driver doesn't seem to boot at all.
Even stranger is to see that the pci card's resources are set to IRQ20. I suspetc advanced ACPI issues over here.
Any one some experiences whith these low-quality budget pc's . (which I didn't choose to buy,but some yuppie at purchasing) .

When using the driver (linux-7.0.0.zip) from broadcom (http://www.broadcom.com/support/downloaddrivers.php)
it works now. (on the livecd version 3.3 from 24/09/2003)
unpack the source zipfile bcm5700-7.0.0.tar.gz to you /home/knoppix
type:
tar xvzf bcm5700-7.0.0.tar.gz
type:
cd /home/knoppix/bcm5700-7.0.0/src
type:
make
type:
insmod bcm5700.o
launch netconfig from menu
greetzzzzzz from Belgium,
PS request on german site (www.knoppix.de) have been made to insert the broadcom driver on the cd.
