Hi all.
Just installed Arch x86_64 from the core installer over my old 64 bit Ubuntu install (Where the network did work). After the installation, dhcpcd fails on eth0, as it can't find the device. The dump of lspci -v for the device is as follows:
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink CM57780 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 01)
Subsystem: Dell Device 02ec
Flags: fast devsel, IRQ 16
Memory at fbff0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 3
Capabilities: [60] Vendor Specific Information <?>
Capabilities: [50] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
Capabilities: [cc] Express Endpoint, MSI 00
Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting
Capabilities: [13c] Virtual Channel <?>
Capabilities: [160] Device Serial Number a4-ba-db-ff-fe-02-0e-b4
Capabilities: [16c] Power Budgeting <?>
Kernel Modules: tg3
The relevant section of dmesg | grep tg3 is as follows:
tg3.c:v3.98 (February 25, 2009)
tg3 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
tg3 0000:02:00.0: setting latency timer to 64
tg3 0000:02:00.0: PME# disabled
tg3 mdio bus: probed
tg3: Problem fetching invariants of chip, aborting.
tg3 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A disabled
The lsmod | grep tg3 returns:
tg3 125684 0
libphy 24368 1 tg3
Has anyone encountered this issue before, or does anyone have any suggestions? Any help is appreciated.

What is exactly the error you get when use dhcpcd??

I'm having this exact problem. Anyone find a solution? It is as though the tg3 module will not load. Eth0 does not load at all.

I have not yet found a solution to this issue, though not from lack of trying. The workaround I chose was to pop in another network card, in my case, a TP-LINK 10/100/1000 card that I picked up for $10. It isn't the ideal solution, but it does the job for now.

for me worked this solution
modprobe -r tg3
modprobe broadcom
modprobe tg3
dhcpcd
ifconfig eth0 up
Offline
some news
I added in blacklist tg3 and broadcom in modules in rc.conf
to start up the net
modprobe tg3
dhcpcd
ifconfig eth0 up
it's enough
infos abput the correction of this bug?

with the updated kernel, ifconfig eth0 up is not necessary. Without modifying rc.conf (add broadcom in modules and tg3 in mod_blacklist) I should only modprobe -r tg3, modprobe tg3 and dhcpcd. In this way, the system is up automatically on eth0.
