This file describes the tg3 Linux driver for the Broadcom NetXtreme 10/100/1000 Mbps PCI/PCI-X/PCI Express Ethernet Network Controllers. The latest driver is in the latest 2.6 Linux kernel.

The tg3 driver from the Broadcom package is almost identical to the tg3 driver in the latest 2.6 upstream Linux kernel. It includes some additional kernel compatible code to allow it to compile on older 2.6 and some 2.4 kernels. The version number is also similar but generally has a one letter suffix at the end, (e.g. 3.55b) to distinguish it from the in-kernel tg3 driver.

his and the rest of the sections below apply to both the in-kernel tg3 driver and the tg3 driver package from Broadcom.

Driver settings can be queried and changed using ethtool. The latest ethtool can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel if it is not already installed. The following are some common examples on how to use ethtool. See the ethtool man page for more information. ethtool settings do not persist across reboot or module reload. The ethtool commands can be put in a startup script such as /etc/rc.local to preserve the settings across a reboot. On Red Hat distributions, "ethtool -s" parameters can be specified in the ifcfg-ethx scripts using the ETHTOOL_OPTS keyword. The specified ethtool parameters will be set during ifup. Example:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:
ETHTOOL_OPTS="wol g speed 100 duplex half autoneg off"
