adding tg3 to bootnet.img
All,
I am trying to install rh8 on an ibm 345 series which uses tg3 NIC driver ( Broadcom Net Xtreme 1Gbit), Unfortunately the default bootnet.img does not have this driver. But I believe the installation CDs does, because I had installed it manually via CD and it was able to connect to the network. So is there a way to include the tg3 driver in the bootnet.img?
I also need to include this driver in rh7.3, But I do not think the driver is included in the installation CDs, I assumed I will have to add this driver as a module and recompile the kernel in bootnet.img to include the module as well, the repackage bootnet.img. If so, could someone shed some lights onto this?
fyi, this is good url which I will check out:
http://www.puschitz.com/Kickstart.shtml, this may help but I am having some trouble comprehending the procedures. I will continue to read it over with a couple more coffee. Meanwhile, it would be of great help, if you could shed some lights on how this is done.
Thanks.

Re: adding tg3 to bootnet.img
Hello,
http://sysadmin.cs.caltech.edu/docs/help/Linux/1722_boot_floppy
looks like it might describe pretty exactly what you want to do (they even add a new Gbit module as the example ;-)
Greetings, Martin
