SL6.1 would not recognize the BCM57780 GigE adapter in my laptop. After
much googling I discovered a workaround. Simply run:
modprobe -r broadcom
modprobe -r tg3
modprobe broadcom
modprobe tg3
and it will magically appear. I put these commands into /etc/rc.local
so it happens automatically at bootup.
This is not an SL specific problem but rather that of TUV, just thought
I would mention it here in case someone else ran into the issue.
As a side note, I also had to install the broadcom-wl package from
atrpms to get WLAN working.
