 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")?
