RH7.2 Troubles Installing BroadCom BCM5700 NetXtreme on HP D530

Hello

I can't install a NIC driver.
Could somebody help me please ?

I have completely setup Red Hat 7.2 on a
"hp compaq business desktop d530 series"
but the NIC hasn't been detected.

During the installation process,
I choosed personnalized and all packages.

The NIC is a
"Integrated Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet for HP"

And when I tried to setup it
with the driver from broadband.com,
I got those messages :

b57um.c:2523: storage size of `eregs' isn't known
b57um.c:2523: warning: unused variable `eregs'
make: *** [b57um.o] Erreur 1
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.9063 (%build)




The HP NIC spec URL is :
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/q...11692_div.HTML

The driver URL is
http://www.broadcom.com/drivers/downloaddrivers.php
(I choosed the 7.1.9 version)

Here is a excerpt of the documentation I followed :

1. Install the source RPM package:
rpm -ivh bcm5700-<version>.src.rpm
2. CD to the RPM path and build the binary driver for your kernel:
cd /usr/src/{redhat,OpenLinux,turbo,packages,rpm ..}
rpm -bb SPECS/bcm5700.spec


And final full output is :

Thank you

Harry

I mostly would like to known
if it's only a matter of version
because the error appears in compilation

Otherwise, the hardware is detected :

# lspci
05:02.0 Ethernet controller: BROADCOM Corporation: Unknown device 1696 (rev
03)

Harry,

Based on my limited experience with Linux, I would hazard a guess that the
drivers for the BroadCom BCM5700 NetXtreme are not on the RH7.2 distro. Why?
The BCM5700 is relatively new and RH7.2 may even have existed before the BCM5700
was available. There is always some time lag between the intro of a new device
with full Windows support from the manufacturer and the time when some Linux
developer has cranked out the drivers. The time is getting shorter and shorter
as Linux grows in popularity.

See if BCM5700 drivers can be downloaded from somewhere on the net.
