S390 Linux Driver

Hello all,
 
I've just received two S390s.  I've tried to load several Linux distros on them.
 
- Fedora Core 5 (Hands during install)
- Ubuntu (testing).  Will work, but doesn't recognize Broadcom Ethernet card (not a tg3 it seems)
- Gentoo (Alao works, but won't recognize the tg3)
 
What netowrk card is this and how can I get something to recognize it?

I had the same problem. I solved it today on a SUSE 10.0 system by downloading and installing the rpm for "Dell DKMS" (currently dkms-2.0.13-1.noarch.rpm) from Dell's Precision 390 support page, and then downloading and installing the "Broadcom 57XX Gigabit Integrated Controller" driver (currently 352eLinuxTG3_DKMS_Broadcom1.tar.gz) from the RedHat section of Dell's Precision 390 download section.

After that, I used SUSE's Yast to configure the network interface, and the network came up fine. I suspect that a similar procedure will work with RedHat and other flavors of Linux.

I'll try it with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 tomorrow.
