I recently got myself a shiny new toy, a 14" notebook, and installed |
| 2 |
Gentoo (naturally). The biggest struggle was getting the Broadcom |
| 3 |
BCM57780 ethernet chip recognized. For the benefit of anybody else who |
| 4 |
runs into problems, here is the step-by-step solution... |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
as root... |
| 7 |
cd /usr/src/linux |
| 8 |
make menuconfig |
| 9 |
Device Drivers ---> |
| 10 |
[*] Network device support ---> |
| 11 |
-*- PHY Device support and infrastructure ---> |
| 12 |
<*> Drivers for Broadcom PHYs |
| 13 |
[*] Ethernet (1000 Mbit) ---> |
| 14 |
<*> Broadcom Tigon3 support |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
save .config, rebuild kernel, and reboot. Ethernet works fine. |
