Installing (broadcom) driver

RobertZegwaard · 05-15-2003, 09:33 AM

I'm runninig Suse7.1
Because Suse can't activate my networkcard (Broadcom BCM5702 Gigabit) i want to install the driver taht came with the card.

Everything seems to go well exept for the last step.

When i try to 'INSMOD BCM5700' i get a message that says something like:
This module is compiled for kernel2.4.0 and this is kernel 2.4.0-4gb

How to solve this problem?

I'm not familiar with your version of SuSE, but what happens when you try and get YaST to find your network settings? Does it find your card? What does it say?

I've found out that INSMOD -f does the trick. (It forces to load load the module).
But doesn't install the module at boottime. How to do this?
