Broadcom Issue

[Guest]

[kurodachi]

Hi everyone, I installed the Endian Community ISO in a new machine, it comes with the latest broadcom ethernet card, so I downloaded all the development files, installed them and then download the sources of the Broadcom from the page.

When I do

Code:

rpmbuild -bb SPECS/tg3.spec

everything goes without trouble, I don't have any failure signal.

The problem comes when Endian starts to load the module, it comes with the next message:

Code:

FATAL: Error inserting tg3 (/lib/modules/2.6.27.19-72.e25/updates/tg3.ko): Invalid module format

If I try to make the module from the source I receive the next message:

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.27.19-72.e25/build SUBDIRS=/root/tg3-3.110g modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.27.19-72.e25-PAE-i686'

PD. I downloaded and installed the latest EFW-COMMUNITY-2.4-devel-srpms.tar.gz so I don't know what to do next. Help me please

[kurodachi]

I have to thank for all the posts in the forum. I found a way to resolve my issue and the driver is working pretty fine right now.

Thanks to mrkroket I find his post very helpul

Code:

efw-upgrade
smart install kernel-PAE
reboot

thanks to wheelz his post help me to figure out what I configured wrong in my development session

Code:

echo "Installing kernel dev package..."

Thanks to them finally compile the source was easy. By the way, maybe the forum need a FAQ section where someone like me can check what are the principal tools you need to install in order to compile something in Endian.
