What driver for NetXtreme?
Quoted 3 lines · Robert L. Harris
I just ordered an eval of a IBM server. This server is supposed to have a Dual-Port NetXtreme Gigabit network card. Anyone have any idea what drivers I'm going to need for this sucker?
it's a broadcom NIC. The driver is tg3

I use Broadcom's driver for my bcm5702: http://www.broadcom.com/drivers/downloaddrivers.php
They work great and enable all the hardware offload features. I used version 2.2.34 on a server that had a 300 day uptime and it performed flawlessly; perfectly stable and FAST.
