tg3: Problem fetching invariants of chip, aborting.

Hi all, there is a wired card (BCM57780) problem with my laptop Lenovo U350, using tg3 module(http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/TIGON3.html);

some more detailed information:

ifconfig -a

I was wondering if there is a way helping me out, or should I report this bug to another people?

Re: tg3: Problem fetching invariants of chip, aborting.

Hello fallening!

Does it work on livecd or on other distribution ?

Re: tg3: Problem fetching invariants of chip, aborting.

No, it does not work on a livecd(x86_64), someone has reported it works on a ubuntu distribution(possibly a 32-bit version), but I did not check it as the laptop does not have a cd driver.
Just now I tried it by using a 32-bit usb-image livecd, still does not work.

Re: tg3: Problem fetching invariants of chip, aborting.

In this case, it can be an upstream, It can be worth to report it to the author/vendor too.
