the broadcomm drivers were not available in 7.3 I believe. I don't even
think they existed when 7.3 was released, but not sure on the timing. You
will need to get them for your NIC.

I have a Broadcom 10/100/1000 card that was automatically detected and
correctly installed with 7.3. However, I downloaded and compiled the latest
module from the Broadcom website anyway. Unfortunately, I am not enough of
an expert to advise on installing the card from scratch, although the
Broadcom readme's might be that detailed (I don't remember).

Cheers

Ok. Talked to a guy at work. The default drivers for RH7.x were a pain for
them. They ended up doing new installs of newer drivers to get it to work.
Unfortunately, I did not get details on it cuz they are scrambling around
making sure all of the systems are not compromised because of the newest
windows bug/virus.
