A big Problem on Proliant DL380G3-bis-

Hi folks,

I may be not very clear on my last email, because almost all the replies
I receive ask me to load the module after reboot.
The module is already automaticly loaded after reboot( in factthe
machine can ping some machines) but it can't reach all the machine; I
repeat again the network configuration is good because if I remove the
module and reinstall the rpm package evrything is well but I must'nt
reboot, It's too strange that after reboot the system couldn't detectect
the MAC adress of the NIC card and the machine still can reach some
mixed boxes(linux, solaris , windows...)

Hope to be more clear this time and waiting for you precious help:)

Regard,

Rachid

Hi Managers,

I've got a DL380G3(2*2.8Ghz/4,5Go Ram/1*36Go HDD) with redhat7.2 running

on it.
The NC7781 NIC card haven't been detected, I install the latest bcm5700
driver recommended by HP on their website on different kernel but
couldn't configure the ethernet card.
I'm working now with the version 2.4.20-20.7 on redhat7.2 (I even try
the AS 2.1 edition bur always the same pb)
The problem is:
When the bcm5700 is loaded just after installation everything is good,
but once the machine is rebooted nothing is well anymore. The machine
could'nt reach all the machine in the network it pings just some of
them(network configuration is good and routage too ) , I've used the 2
NICs no chance.
What is also strange is taht after reboot , the ifconfig command
could'nt associate the MAC adrees to the card , what can be the problem(

driver, IRQ,HW problem...)
Here is the first line from the result of ifconfig command:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00

After the install of the bcm5700 module the MAC adress is detected.

Could you please help, I found nothing neither at HP nor in internet

Regards,

Rachid,
