make: *** [default] Error 2 [root@localhost tg3-3.85l]#

Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

It looks like you are trying to compile the tg3 module. If so, it is included in CentOS-5.

$ /sbin/modinfo tg3 filename: /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.1.10.el5/kernel/drivers/net/tg3.ko version: 3.86 license: GPL description: Broadcom Tigon3 ethernet driver

You network problem may be due to something else ?

Akemi

I would first download the very latest kernel and build that to see if it works

do an lscpi -vv and post the results for the network card

did you have a look at atrpms or dag to see if they have a kernel module already built ?

e.g. http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/11/vendor/1800/com/Broadcom%20Corporati...
