[SOLVED] Problem with installing wireless driver (Boradcom)

Hi!
I am trying to install the driver for my wireless card: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5787M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02).
And I found this driver: www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/netlink.php, and I'm trying to follow the instructions included in the README, but when i run make, i get this:

[stian@stian tg3-3.110g]$ make

make: *** [default] Error 2

What does this mean? (Yes I am very new to Arch, and Linux in general, but I want to learn!)

All help is appreciated!

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with installing wireless driver (Boradcom)

Thanks for fast reply!

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with installing wireless driver (Boradcom)

1) It's not a wireless card, but an ethernet (wired) one.
2) tg3 module is already present in the arch stock kernel

Just rmmod tg3, then modprobe broadcom and tg3 again and edit MODULES array in /etc/rc.conf.

MODULES=(... broadcom tg3 ...)

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with installing wireless driver (Boradcom)

Hmm, ok. So how do i proceed to get the wireless connection up and running, now?

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with installing wireless driver (Boradcom)

I had a terribly fun time configuring my Broadcom device. This seemed to work pretty well for me https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Netcfg.

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with installing wireless driver (Boradcom)

Thanks, I'll try that!
I have one more question: When I run 'iwconfig' I get the following:

[root@stian stian]# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

Does this mean that I've failed to set up my wireless driver properly?

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with installing wireless driver (Boradcom)

You missed a critical piece of information that Dogmeat posted. This Broadcom chip is not a wireless chip—it's a wired ethernet chip. Post the output of lspci -v here, please.

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with installing wireless driver (Boradcom)

I got it. Just discovered that I have to reset BIOS to 'factory default' each time I boot, to make Arch and 'lspci -vnn | grep 14e4' discover my wireless card, of some strange reason.

EDIT:
Got it up and running now, thanks for all help! Specially Netcfg helped a lot, thanks
