The tg3 driver that is provided with the standard RHEL 3 WS Update 5 does not support the
BCM5752 LAN-on-Motherboard for the HP xw4300 Workstation.
There are 4 ways to enable the xw4300 BCM5752 LAN-on-Motherboard with RHEL 3 WS U5 with
kernel 2.4.21-32.
Select one of the following:
If the workstation was ordered with RHEL 3 WS Update5 preloaded, then support for this

BCM5752 LAN-on-Motherboard has already been enabled. Verify that the RPM is installed
using
the command 'rpm -qa | grep tg3'.
As part of the HPIKL for RHEL 3 WS Update5, HP has provided a Red Hat Driver Disk that can

be used at the time of install to load a tg3 driver that will enable network installs as well as
enable networking after the install has completed. For instructions on how to install the tg3
driver from this CD, please refer to the documentation at
http://www.hp.com/support/linux_user_manual. Select the chapter "Installing with the HP
Installer Kit for Linux" and search for "Red Hat Driver Disk".
As part of the HP Driver CD, which is also part of the HPIKL for RHEL 3 WS Update5, HP has

provided tg3-2.4.21-32-1-0.i386.rpm, tg3-2.4.21-132-1-0.x86_64.rpm, and tg3-2.4.21-32-1-
0.src.rpm. Therefore, if you did not use the Red Hat Driver Disk during the install process, you
can add support in your 2.4.21-32 kernel for the BCM5752 LAN-on-Motherboard by
installing this RPM. To install it:
Mount the HP Driver Cd under /mnt/cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom/HP/RPMS/{arch}
rpm -ivh tg3-2.4.21-32-1-0.{arch}.rpm
Where {arch} is i386 if you are installing on RHEL 3 WS Update5 x86, and x86_64 if you are
installing on RHEL 3 WS Update5 AMD64/EM64T. Once the rpm is installed, an additional step is
required to reset the LAN.
a.
Configure your network with 'setup'.
Execute: 'shutdown -h 0'.
Remove the power cord for at least 15 seconds.
Replace the power cord and restart the machine.
As the system restarts, you should see "Bringing up eth0 [OK]".

xw4300", then click on the "download drivers and software" link. Download the "HP Installer Kit for
Linux - Red Hat Driver Disk for Red Hat Enterprise" rev "Update5" and follow the instructions to install
the RPM.
NOTE: If you update/re-build your kernel such that you are no longer running the 2.4.21-32 kernel,
you will find that your BCM5752 LAN-on-Motherboard is no longer functional. To resolve this, you
will need to either go to Red Hat Network to get the RHEL 3 WS Update 6 kernel SRPM or get the
source tar from the tg3-2.4.21-32-1-0.src.rpm and include these files in any kernel build that you plan
to do.
