Hi,
I am trying to install Xen-3.0.4-1 and the 2.6.16-33 kernel that comes 
with 3.0.4-1, on a Dell Optiplex 745 system. The manual installation 
(make world install) goes fine, however, on reboot the eth0 couldn't be 
brought up. It complains with the following message:
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
    SET failed on device eth0 ; No such device.
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth0: unknown interface: No such device
eth0: unknown interface: No such device

The lspci shows:
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5754 
Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02)

I tried to upgrade the tg3 driver, but the driver wouldn't compile with 
the 2.6.16.33-xen kernel. It does compile with the 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 kernel.

Does anybody have any experience with this ?

Thanks,
Abhishek.
