[rhn-users] RHEL 3.0 and Broadcom BCM5704

[Charith Perera]

Hello,

We recently upgraded our switch to a gigabit one. All the machines appear to 
be successfully communicating at 1000 Mbps without requiring a network 
restart or system reboot. However, one machine, a Dell PE 1750 which has a 
Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5704 Gigabit Ethernet is still communicating at 
100Mbps. It's using the tg3 driver, which from my understanding has been 
supporting gigabit ethernet cards for quite a while. 

Does anyone have any ideas what the problem may be? Does the network or system 
need to be restarted? I doubt that as I assume the driver isn't dependent on 
the network.

Thank you,

Charith Perera.
