2010.1 newly installed Ethernet card: NetLink BCM57788 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe No driver was available for this card in 2009.1 so I had to use a Belkin USB adapter which registered as eth0. Research on the net indicated that the netlink card had support in later kernels so I tried it with 2010.1. Drakconnect says it is trying the tg3 module but fails to connect to the internet. So, back to the USB adapter, which works fine. The Netlink card is assigned to eth0 and the Belkin adapter to eth1. Does anyone have experience of the Netlink card or any suggestions on how to activate it?
