Actually there are around four (I think) Broadcom Ethernet drivers that have been used over the years. His chipset does in fact use the driver he mentioned, this is the newest driver and is in the mainline kernel. Wayne, could you please boot the live DVD and see if it brings up the internet. Please wait a couple minutes after Xfce comes up and try and load Google.

To clear any doubt on what driver is supposedly used, so here I just downloaded another Debian based, xfce , Crunchbang 10.
Run Live DVD , network connection is up automatically.
I tried install it. Here is what lsmod showed
wayne@crunchbang:~$ lsmod | grep broadcom
broadcom 5615 0
wayne@crunchbang:~$ lsmod | grep tg3
tg3 116210 0
wayne@crunchbang:~$

I am curious if Debian-xfce had issue on my networking so I downloaded it and run live.
Well, same issue, no internet.
look at lsmod and the tg3 and broadcom are loaded
modprobing using the same three lines in earlier post, wait for a while, also no internet.
seems to be something missing.. could it be kernel not playing well with tg3?

If the kernel is having problems with the driver it will tell you. Look at 'dmesg | less' or run this in a terminal.
dmesg | grep tg3
dmesg | grep error
dmesg | grep fail
You should be able to do this in the live CD or your install. If that all looks fine and I'm thinking it will be I would take a look at wicd and maybe replace it with network manager. If you need help doing that Anthony or myself can tell you how.
EDIT: my mind is loosing it. grep!

Thanks chevy on your offer for help.
Yes, I will be happy to try something to get this computer working with broadcom/tg3.
As I have a running Saline 1.1 on amd 64-bit machine, this i3 is also 64-bit thus I hope I could follow a procedure to make appropriate changes from amd-64 and later run it on the i3.
Here is the output of dmesg:

This is what my computer says and your should be similar. The old Dell is history now so I can show you that one. I think you might be right but first lets look at a couple of more things.
If you could post the results of 'lsmod | grep tg3' , 'dmesg | grep eth0' and 'cat /etc/resolv.conf' .
EDIT: You said CrunBang worked so take a at that too and compare the files make sure they are loading the same driver and compare kernels ( uname -r ). Also does CrunchBang use wicd or network manager?
Something is stoping this from working it is either the kernel (I doubt it) the driver or wicd.

Yes, crunchbang works out of the box on live CD.
Yes it loaded tg3 and broadcom. It uses network manager.

Having an empty /etc/resolv.conf means DHCP may not be setup correctly. You can go to http://www.opendns.com/ and use their IP numbers but you will still need to know your 'domain' and 'search' urls. Try coping the /etc/resolv.conf from crunchbang to your hard drive.
You can mount your hard drive to any live Cd by issuing 'mount -t auto /dev/sdxx /mnt' and of course xx means the letter of your HD and number of your partition like sda1 for example. Then 'cd /mnt/etc' then 'nano resolv.conf'. When done issue 'umount -a && exit' that should get you out of the terminal so you can reboot.

Well, I think I am stuck.
copy the files from crunchbang over did not help.
Try also some idea from Debian forum, blacklist tg3 in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, add broadcom and tg3 in /etc/modules, install firmware, etc.
Still no internet..
Take a rest first.
Got to be not so difficult!!. Any other ideas for me to try?

Try logging in as root and inputting the following:
aptitude install ethtool
ethtool -K eth0 tso off
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 up

Okay you show the driver is being loaded in crunchbamg but what about SalineOS. When you do 'lsmod | grep tg3' in SalineOS does the drive show up. You may need to add it to your initrd.img by rebuilding it.
If 'lsmod' doesn't show the driver try 'modprobe tg3'.

The driver is up, you can tell by his output. Issues with the tg3 driver are spamed around Google. Seems the driver has an issue with the automation of some settings failing. Step one for trouble shooting this is my post above.
These commands may also help with this issue:
ethtool -s eth0 speed 100
ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off

The reason I asked is because most of his post said:
Code:wayne@crunchbang:~$ lsmod | grep broadcom
broadcom 5615 0 |
|
So I was wondering if that was the same out put in Saline OS as in CrunchBang, that's all. If that is an example of what Saline OS gave then I understand what he did.
