Hello, I just recently got a nice Dell Inspiron 1420 and I'm loading RHEL5 Client (workstation), I knew it wouldn't work straight out of the box, but I wanted to get it running by hand for the experience of compiling drivers etc.
I've dug around (and learned a lot) but I'm now at the point that I have the new (unknown device/vendor ID's) which should be using my newly compiled tg3 drivers in /lib/modules..... I've tried using insmod and modprobe etc. I don't know how to tell the system to use them upon boot. It's a broadcom nic vendor 0x14e4 device 0x1713. Is there a way to insert this info in grub (as an "append" command to the initrd) and tell it to load the needed driver when it see's that string? Am I heading in the right direction? Thank you for any help. PS. I know I could just go with Fedora (or even load the new 8 when it comes out) but then I wouldn't learn how to do this. :) _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
