Hello,

I think the problem I encountered is quite common to a lot of people. 

These days I am trying to compile a XenLinux kernel from source. Everything works fine except the NIC card.
I have searched a lot and tried a lot before I send out this email for help:
(1) I have enabled BNX2 option when I compile the kernel.
(2) I have downloaded bnx2 dirver source code from Broadcom to compile, but failed.
(3) Some people say that it is caused by the Dell firmware. Any expert to confirm this??
(4) I noticed that many people encountered the same problem, but the solution they provided also does not work in my machine.
