Broadcom BCM5751 help!

[defiant]

Can anyone tell me if they've gotten the Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express network controller to work, or how to do it??

I'm running FC4 test 2 x86_64, it seems to detect the card alright and load the tg3 driver and assign it to eth1. But when tries to recieve a IP address from DHCP it just sits there and times out.
I pluged in my pci ethernet card from my old linux box and it works fine without a problem.


Determining IP information for eth1...PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) from 192.168.0.103 eth1: 56(84) bytes of data.

I also had the same problem.

Did you already assign a static dchp addr on the dhcp server ?
If so, try upgrading the dhclient and/or turn off your static ip on the dhcp server.

This is the builtin soundcard. Did you make it work?
And don't you have a problem with the SATA controller? as described here: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=67820
