Hi - do "lsmod | grep tg3". If you get nothing, then try "sudo modprobe 
tg3", followed by "dmesg" (presuming the modprobe didn't fail). The end 
of the output of the latter command should be related to the 
provisioning of the ethernet card. What distribution are you running? 
What kernel ("uname -a")?
