I can't figure out how to get my broadcom (BCM5705M gigabit, on a dell x300 laptop) to work. It works fine if one boots with the rescue CD, but in regular boot, despite that the same driver (tg3) is used, i can't get it to work. lsmod doesn't show anything different really. The /proc/interrupts do give a slightly different picture, so perhaps it's some sort of irq conflict? I'll try running without ACPI, but a previous experiment on that failed to get the driver loaded. Any other suggestions how to trace this problem? peter
