Red Hat Linux AS 2.1 Broadcom driver installation
In this section, we install Red Hat Linux AS 2.1. After loading the operating system, the
network drivers worked immediately. However, we downloaded the latest Broadcom device
drivers for Linux and performed the instructions in Example 6-1 to install them. The latest
Broadcom device drivers were obtained from the following URL:
http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-54186
Example 6-1 RPM install of Broadcom device drivers for HS20
