[SOLVED] [archiso] broadcom BCM57780 manipulation makes build.sh abort

hi,

I'm still "playing" with archiso.
I'm using a PC with a broadcom BCM57780 network controller, so I have to remove tg3 module and reinstall broadcom and then tg3 to make it work.

but, when I put necessary commands into ~/archlive/releng/airootfs/customize_airootfs.sh, network interface goes down; I have to restart netctl...
I've  tried to add netctl restart <interface> after modprobe lines, but it seems to have no effect.
and, as build.sh has no connection anymore, it stops.

isn't it the right way to do such a thing ? what am I doing wrong ?

are explanations clear enough ?

Of course the interface goes down when you pull the interface driver away.
There's probably some race if you juggle the modules and immediately try to restart the network - just fix the module loading order.
If it's in the initramfs, see the page you linked.
If not:
/etc/modprobe.d/tg3_broadcom.conf

softdep tg3 pre: broadcom
