Having issues getting my network card up.
HP EVO D530 desktop
Network Adapter- Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet for HP
lspci
RH8 reported Broadcom with unknown device.
downloaded driver from broadcom's site:
Broadcom BCM5700 Linux Driver Version 6.2.11-1
-install source rpm files.
rpm -ivh bcm5700-6.2.11-1.src.rpm <http://bcm5700-6.2.11-1.src.rpm/>
cd /usr/src/redhat
-Rebuild rpm file
rpmbuild -bb SPECS/bcm5700.spec
Install newly built package
This installs driver to:
/lib/modules/2.4.18-24.8.0/kernel/drivers/net/bcm5700.o
Load module:
insmod bcm5700
Warning message:
the module you are tying to load
/lib/modules/2.4.18-24.8.0/kernel/drivers/net/bcm5700.o
is compiled with a gcc version 2 compiler, while the kernel you are
running is compiled with a gcc version 3 compiler. This is known to not
work.
Tried force loading it:
insmod bcm5700 -f
same message, except with the additional error:
will taint the kernel: forced load.
See http://www.tux.org/lkml/#export-tainted for information about
tainted modules
Module bcm5700 loaded, with warning.
I rebuilt the rpm on redhat 8
rpm -qi shows gcc version 3.2
any ideas?
