Woo hoo! I did as someone suggested and build all broadcom and tg3 |
| 19 |
drivers into the kernel. I had previously build tg3 into the kernel, |
| 20 |
but that didn't work. However, when I was configuring the kernel this |
| 21 |
time, I noticed some entries about Broadcom PHY. On my laptop, when it |
| 22 |
boots and gets the the tg3 load, it says something about tg3 and has |
| 23 |
libphy in brackets. The stuff about Broadcom PHY was never built into |
| 24 |
the kernel and it wasn't something that I deselected. I'm not sure |
| 25 |
exactly what portion of this fixed the problem, but at least my ethernet |
| 26 |
is active when I boot! :-) |

Now, I'm on to working on an audio problem - Can't get audio CD's to |
| 31 |
play in either kscd or kaffeine. Haven't installed amarok yet. |
