Re: i cant configure broadcom dhcp or static

I have a similar problem with a Lattitude D630. This machine
includes a BCM5755M NIC. I have downloaded the Broadcom
driver as it appears in the HCL http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/components
/details/2924.html but I have the same behavior. I saw
from an snoop output that the interface never sends the
DHCPREQUEST request, I think that's why it doesn't acquire
any address. I have tested also with static IP address but I
had the same results you are seeing. Actually, I sent an
email to the nwam list but I have not hear any feedback.

See the thread "bcme not working with clearview"
on networking-discuss
from today.  This problem is not related to NWAM.
