Re: AW: AW: [SPAM] [Xen-users] Xen networking problem

Yes, I am using the BroadCom driver and not the kernel driver, and the 
driver is called 'tg3', as it states in the README file:
                           Installation Notes
                        Broadcom tg3 Linux Driver
                               Version 3.71b
                                12/15/2006 ...

I downloaded this from the BroadCom website 
http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/netxtreme_desktop.php.
I believe the link you previously gave me (bnx2) is for 
BCM5706/BCM5708/5709, whereas I have BCM5754 (tg3).
Any clues? I'm still very lost.

Thx,
Jun
