Hi,
I compiled kernel from stable sources (Gentoo ebuild: openvz-sources-2.6.18.028.053-r2). The problem is after reboot I don't have my NIC, which is:

02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5722 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express
Subsystem: Dell Unknown device 0225
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 10
Memory at d0200000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 3
Capabilities: [50] Vital Product Data <?>
Capabilities: [58] Vendor Specific Information <?>
Capabilities: [e8] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable-
Capabilities: [d0] Express Endpoint, MSI 00
Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting <?>
Capabilities: [13c] Virtual Channel <?>
Capabilities: [160] Device Serial Number 90-4a-2a-fe-ff-09-1d-00
Capabilities: [16c] Power Budgeting <?>

I'm not exactly sure which module should I use; I tried tg3, bnx2, and even e1000 - nothing works. Ifconfig -a displays only realtek (true, I had it put inside, its remote machine), sit0, lo and venet0.

The machine is:
Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
Product Name: PowerEdge T105

I wasn't sure on which module the NIC was running (I remotely installed Gentoo with 2.6.24) but I was running there it fine.

I have to stay on this kernel now, as the server is completely unattended now.

Regards,

Janusz.

That's tg3 (CONFIG_TIGON3).

Post lspci -nn output.

eth0 is immortal realtek 8139 as you can see.

0x165a support was added after 2.6.18, so try attached patch
and reload with new module.

In nuclear war realteks will survive. ;-)

Ok, done, interface is up. Honestly, one more question, maybe more distro specific:

how can I be sure that after reboot those cards are not switched back? now there is no problem, but if the power outage occurs and cards are switched, I'm cut off. From server and money too.

ANyway this is <SOLVED>.

Well, on the kernel side ordering should stay the same,
assuming you
* aren't physically moving NICs in PCI slots, and
* don't flip between 2.4 and 2.6 kernels (those two enumerate
PCI devices in different order, use pci=bfsort to get 2.4
behaviour)
* and don't change =y/=m settings of NIC modules

Userspace (read: udev) on modern distros will try to rename
NICs back looking at their MACs. You can look at
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules (or how it's called).
