Hello Family,

I was curious as to how to add a newer nic driver to a pre-exisiting
kickstart setup.

Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 11)

With RHEL4 and the new DELL-2950's, it appears that there is no
support for the following network card.  I ran CentOS-4.4 "live" and
got the following info for the nic came up then:

#############################
/etc/modprobe.conf
#############################
alias eth1 bnx2
alias eth0 bnx2
alias scsi_hostadapter megaraid_sas
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
#############################

[root at localhost ~]#

grep bnx2 /lib/modules/2.6.9-42.livecd.c4/modules.dep

/lib/modules/2.6.9-42.livecd.c4/kernel/drivers/net/bnx2.ko:

############################

TIA
