How to install a network card
Hey guys,

Sorry, this question might look stupid but I have no idea how to install a network card.
My server is a Dell PowerEdge T105 with Debian 5.0 Lenny.
My network card is a Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5722 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express.

I've plugged the card innside my server and I can see it is detected with this command:
Code:
lspci | grep -i ethernet
01:07.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6105/VT6106S [Rhine-III] (rev 86)
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5722 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express
05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5722 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express

Now if I run ifconfig, I only have eth0 and eth1. But my new card is the 3rd one so it should appear as eth2. How can I make it happen? Should I install some drivers?

Thx for your help.

bnx

BNX(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						    BNX(4)

NAME

     bnx -- Broadcom NetXtreme II 10/100/1000 Ethernet device

SYNOPSIS

     bnx* at pci?
     brgphy* at mii?

DESCRIPTION

     The bnx driver supports Broadcom's NetXtreme II product family, such as the BCM5706 PCI-X and BCM5708-BCM5709 PCI Express Ethernet con-
     trollers, which includes the following:

     o	 Dell PowerEdge 1950 integrated BCM5708 NIC (10/100/1000baseT)
     o	 Dell PowerEdge 2950 integrated BCM5708 NIC (10/100/1000baseT)
     o	 Dell PowerEdge M710 integrated BCM5709S NIC (1000baseSX)
     o	 HP NC370F PCI-X Multifunction Gigabit server adapter (1000baseSX)
     o	 HP NC370T PCI-X Multifunction Gigabit server adapter (10/100/1000baseT)
     o	 HP NC373F PCI Express Multifunction Gigabit server adapter (1000baseSX)
     o	 HP NC373i PCI Express Multifunction Gigabit embedded server adapter (10/100/1000baseT)
     o	 HP NC380T PCI Express Dual Port Multifunction Gigabit server adapter (10/100/1000baseT)
     o	 IBM xSeries 3550 integrated BCM5708 NIC (10/100/1000baseT)
     o	 IBM xSeries 3650 integrated BCM5708 NIC (10/100/1000baseT)

     The NetXtreme II product family is composed of various Converged NIC (or CNIC) Ethernet controllers which support a TCP Offload Engine (TOE),
     Remote DMA (RDMA), and iSCSI acceleration, in addition to standard L2 Ethernet traffic, all on the same controller.  The following features
     are supported in the bnx driver under NetBSD:

	   IPv4 receive IP/TCP/UDP checksum offload
	   Jumbo frames (up to 9022 bytes)
	   VLAN tag insertion
	   Interrupt coalescing
	   10/100/1000Mbps operation in full-duplex mode
	   10/100Mbps operation in half-duplex mode

     The bnx driver supports the following media types:

     autoselect   Enable autoselection of the media type and options.  The user can manually override the autoselected mode via ifconfig(8).

     10baseT/UTP  Set 10Mbps operation.  The ifconfig(8) mediaopt option can also be used to select either full-duplex or half-duplex modes.

     100baseTX	  Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation.  The ifconfig(8) mediaopt option can also be used to select either full-duplex or
		  half-duplex modes.

     1000baseTX   Set 1000baseTX operation over twisted pair.  Only full-duplex mode is supported.

     1000baseSX   Set 1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) operation.  Both full-duplex and half-duplex modes are supported.

     2500baseSX   Set 2500Mbps operation.  Only full-duplex mode is supported.

     The bnx driver supports the following media options:

     full-duplex  Force full duplex operation.

     half-duplex  Force half duplex operation.

     For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).
