RHEL does have the ability to use rpm to build rpms. You are simply wrong.

Ok let me rephrase that, it does exist (rpmbuild) with the correct package however it does not contain the "-tb" options as outlined in the README for the e1000 driver install.

I can see the e1000 from "lsmod" but when I run "ethtool -i eth0" it is showing bnx2x.

I am using a Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM57711E 10G PCIe

Any ideas anyone??

I have told you already.

The e1000 driver is already there and supported by RHEL. You need the newest broadcom drivers not the e1000 driver, which is for INTEL cards.

The reason I tried the e1000(e) drivers was because the bnx2x for broadcom driver is currently installed and I am getting no light activity from the ethernet controller ??

Duff,

That is poor logic. Would you try a 13 inch tire on a 20 inch wheel because your have a flat?

e1000 is for INTEL CARDS. You need a newer bnx2x driver for your card. I suggest you try getting that. Anything else you do is a waste of time.

Ok, as this is a test box I am only getting a change to address this again. I have installed the latest Broadcom driver and now get the following error when starting up eth0:

ADDRCONF (NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Have you checked the cable? Is it plugged in at both ends? What is on the other end of the cable?

what is the output of:

Code:
ip addr

also
Code:
ethtool -i eth0
