But the field was removed from the kernel structure
If you are going to be building the very latest drivers against the very
latest kernels, shouldn't you be asking these questions either on lkml or
on opensuse-kernel?
Actually, since the problem is that the tg3 driver hasn't been ported to
the latest kernel, you should probably be talking to Broadcom

Madness takes its toll
Whoops, I didn't even realized I was booted into 2.6.23, I get the same
behavior in 2.6.22.0-0.4. I know that tg3 should be built in and it's running
but the next source was released a few days ago and I wanted to compile it to
see if an issue I was experiencing was fixed.
What is the issue you ask? On my broadcom card for some reason the first up
(using networkmanager) just gets an apipa address. When I re-initialize it
gets an IP and all is good.
I've only checked this behavior at work since at home I use Wireless, but
maybe i'll check it out at other wired sources.
