My head is starting to spin. I have the latest stable kernel. |

Someone said that since tg3 is not loading at boot then, I shouldn't |
| 38 |
have to remove it. However, if I just do 'modprobe tg3', ifconfig just |
| 39 |
returns the lo interface. If I do 'modprobe -r broadcom' 'modprobe |
| 40 |
broadcom' and 'modprobe tg3', I still only get the lo interface. The |
| 41 |
only thing that works is removing both modules and adding them again. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
I also tried following the openrc document. The only thing that seems |
| 44 |
to suggest a solution is to add arguments for my modules. I have no |
| 45 |
idea what those arguments might be and although I tried googling, I |
| 46 |
didn't really find anything that would point me in the right direction. |
