Broadcomm gigabit nic modules

Hi All

Can anyone tell me which module I should load for the Broadcomm Gigabit NIC. I have installed via ftp so know that it all works but unfortuantly the ftp install process doesn't transfer the NIC configuration to the /etc/rc.conf file. I have tried the following:

8139too
e100
e1000

I am using the latest 2.6.4 kernel


Regards

Richard

Re: Broadcomm gigabit nic modules

What module do you load during the ftp install?

I didn't load a module manually I let auto-configure do it for me. I didn't see any output. Would there be a log file somewhere ?

Re: Broadcomm gigabit nic modules

Most likely you did a cd install instead of an ftp install.

Hi Richjin.

Although you've figured out the NIC driver already, here's what you could have done during installation:

1. Switch Consoles: You can switch to another console (e.g., using Ctrl-Alt-Fn, where n is the function key number corresponding to the console you've selected; you should have five consoles, six minus the one you're already using for your installation; console 7 is normally reserved for graphical display).

2. Determine Loaded Modules: You can determine which modules have been loaded by typing, as root or a regular user, the command 'lsmod'.  You probably won't have too many modules installed yet, so you can just copy them down or redirect the output to a file for later reference: 'lsmod > lsmod.txt'.

Regards,
