Integrated Fingerprint Reader

===Integrated Fingerprint Reader===
IBM released a second generation of T42 models in Autumn 2004 featuring Intel Pentium M 765 processors and an integrated fingerprint reader.

The fingerprint reader is produced by a company called UPEK, which specializes in the manufacture of fingerprint readers. It is integrated as an USB device, and does all the matching in hardware, making it rather easy to use. Furthermore, IBM states that there's an interface with the [[Embedded Security Subsystem]]. UPEK now sells the fingerprint reader as a USB peripheral bundled with the same underlying software for accessing password-protected online accounts and Windows: [http://www.upek.com/solutions/eikon Eikon Digital Privacy Manager]
</div>
|}

==Open Source==

There is a new GPL driver at http://thinkfinger.sourceforge.net; see the [[How to enable the fingerprint reader with ThinkFinger]] for detailed instructions. This is the recommended option as it integrates more seamlessly with PAM and doesn't produce a tacky graphical prompt.

==Binary Only==
A closed source driver from the vendor has been released. It interfaces to the hardware as a user-space USB driver through {{path|/proc/bus/usb|}} and provides a BioAPI 1.10 device, which can then be interfaced to pam for authentication by user programs. The driver can be downloaded from http://www.upek.com/support/dl_linux_bsp.asp; see the [[How to enable the fingerprint reader|corresponding HOWTO]] for detailed instructions.

Embedded Security Subsystem

2007-12-16T12:31:11Z

Lemon84: /* IBM Embedded Security Subsystem 2.0 */

{| width="100%"

<div style="margin: 0; margin-right:10px; border: 1px solid #dfdfdf; padding: 0em 1em 1em 1em; background-color:#F8F8FF; align:right;">
=== The Embedded Security Subsystem ===
The Embedded Security Subsystem is a chip on the ThinkPads mainboard that can take care of certain security related tasks conforming to the TCPA standard. It was first introduced among the T23 models and is now under the name Embedded Security Subsystem 2.0 an integral part of most of the modern ThinkPads. The functions of the chip are fall into three main groups:
* public key functions
* trusted boot functions
* initialization and management functions

The purpose of the whole thing is to keep the user's sensitive data out of range from software based attacks (like viruses, internet attacks etc.). One way the chip offers to achieve this is by providing storage for keys along with the neccessary functions to handle them within itself, so that a for example a private key never has to leave the chip (can't be seen by any piece of software). Besides this, there are more complex topics covered by the functionality of the chip. If you want to find out more about it you can find good documents on the [http://www.research.ibm.com/gsal/tcpa/ IBM Research TCPA resources page].</div>
|}

{{NOTE|Some ThinkPads have the TPM chip integrated into the SuperIO chip, or soldered to the planar card/mainboard. Don't let the picture fool you...}}

{{WARN|There's a bug in the latest release of the security chip software. You end up facing a security chip login, and you press Ctrl-alt-delete, and it just sits there. '''Do not''' download the latest patch (Dated 13/06/2006 v 7.00.0017.00) <BR>
Actually, they appear to have removed that patch.<BR>
Ring IBM support (in Australia 131426, 1, 2) and they'll talk you through doing a system restore.}}

==Trusted or Treacherous?==

TC - Trusted Computing - will be the biggest change of the information landscape since decades. Besides positive features like a more secure hardware storage for cryptographic keys, an analysis of the proposed TCG-standards shows some problematic properties. <br />
As ThinkPads of recent generations following the ThinkPad {{T23}} ([[Embedded Security Subsystem#Models featuring this Technology|see the complete list of models]]) are equipped with this disputed TCG-/TCPA-Technology, it can be interesting, which promises of the TCG are fulfilled inside your ThinkPad and which parts of the TCG-specifications still seem to be a privacy issue for every user of digital devices like a MP3-player or a ThinkPad - so please read [[TCPA/TCG - Trusted or Treacherous|this article]] for more details.

==Linux Support==
Two linux drivers are available, a [[tpm|classical one]] and a [[tpmdd|newer one]].
Coverage of functionality of the first is unknown so far, the second is part of a bigger project aiming to provide a usable security framework.

David Stafford (one of the developers of the tpm code at IBM) on March 10, 2005 sent me the most recent version of the tpm-kml code. With his permission, I quote his email:

"I am attaching our latest driver and library.
This version is in the process of kernel mailing list review, and
will hopefully be accepted into the official kernel. It works
much better across various 2.6 kernels. Note that this builds
three modules tpm, tpm_atmel, and tpm_nsc. You modprobe the
tpm_atmel (for all current shipping atmel based systems), or
tpm_nsc (for the coming national based systems).

Also note that there is a conflict with the snd-intel8x0
kernel module (they each try to grab the LPC bus). You can
either: load the tpm modules first (such as in initrd or
rc.sysinit, before sound), or recompile the snd-intel8x0, turning
off the MIDI and JOYSTICK support. The latest 2.6.11 version
of snd-intel8x0 also reportedly fixes things."

Compiling this library was easy. Compiling the driver on my 2.6.8-686 (debian testing) laptop failed. But the library works with the driver I compiled from the tpm-2.0 package IBM made available on its pages (see the links below).

Gijs

The T43 requires a patch posted to the LKML by Kylene Jo Hall: [http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111884603309146&w=2 LKML posting]. An updated patch for linux 2.6.12 is available [http://shamrock.dyndns.org/~ln/linux/tpm_2.6.12.diff here].

The atmel driver comes with 2.6.12.

Now suported in 2.6.15.1 (and maybe others kernels under this number) in:

==Versions & Features==
=== Embedded Security Chip ===
IBM introduced it's TCPA/TCG features with some of the [[:Category:T23|T23]] models. The earlier of them didn't yet have the Embedded Security Subsystem, but a kind of pre 1.0 version called the Embedded Security Chip. This chip had the following capabilities:
*Data communications authentication and encryption
*Storage of encrypted passwords

=== Embedded Security Subsystem (1.0) ===
The original Embedded Security Subsystem (in IBM documents there is no use of the additive version-number 1.0) claims to be compliant with TCG specs, but apparently did not fully implement any specific TCG spec.

The Embedded Security Subsystem has the following features:
*hardware key storage
*multi-factor authentication
*local file encryption
*enhances VPN security

=== Embedded Security Subsystem 2.0 ===
The Embedded Security Subsystem 2.0 conforms to the TCG TPM 1.1b specification, with a TPM manufactured by either Atmel or National Semiconductor.

The Embedded Security Subsystem 2.0 has the following features:
*hardware key storage
*multi-factor authentication
*local file encryption
*enhances VPN security
*TCG compliant

Active Protection System

|style="vertical-align:top" |
<div style="margin: 0; margin-right:10px; border: 1px solid #dfdfdf; padding: 0em 1em 1em 1em; background-color:#F8F8FF; align:right;">
=== The Active Protection System ===
With the new series of ThinkPads IBM introduced the Active Protection System (APS) in 2003. The APS is a protection system for the ThinkPads internal harddrive. A sensor inside the ThinkPad recognizes when the notebook is accelerated. A software applet then is triggered to park the harddisk. This way the risk of data loss in case of when the notebook is dropped is significantly reduced since the read/write head of the harddrive is parked and hence can't crash onto the platter when the notebook drops onto the floor.

The hardware sensor is capable of not only recognizing acceleration of the notebook, but also (to a certain degree) of its whole orientation in space, relative to gravity's axis. Furthermore, having the actual control put into software, its functionality is extendable and it gives chance to implement features like the "ignore minor shocks" feature which is present in the Windows based control applet. (This feature prevents the harddrive from parking in case of minor regular shocks such as occur when in a train or car.)

The measurements are physically performed by an [[Analog Devices ADXL320 accelerometer]] chip, managed by the [[Embedded Controller Chips|embedded controller]].
</div>
|}

* [ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/aps2mst.pdf IBM Active Protection System Whitepaper]

==Hard-disk Support==

HD-APS requires a hard-disk with [http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/research/storage/hdi/loadunload.html head unload ramp technology] and also support on the hard-disk firmware to unload heads without flushing the disk cache. This is required, because as soon as the APS system detects a shock is imminent, the system has less than 500ms to prepare for the shock.

Unloading heads without flushing the cache is done using the [http://www.t13.org/Documents/UploadedDocuments/docs2003/e03120r5.pdf optional Unload Immediate feature of the IDLE IMMEDIATE ATA command]. It finishes whatever sector write is in-flight, and immediately moves the heads to the unload ramp. Without this command, hard-disk APS cannot be trusted, as disks with big caches can take a lot of time to write it all to disk.

So far, only hard-disks with IBM APS firmware, as well as the consumer Fujitsu HV2060AH/MHV2100AH/MHV2120AH HDs have been found to implement all the necessary functions. Head unload technology is reasonably common in modern laptop disks, but the APS firmware is very rare in regular consumer products. Please note that newer Apple notebooks also support APS, so it is somewhat likely that their disks also support unload immediate or a similar feature.

==Linux Support==
Linux support is in development.

This feature definitely depends on software and there is no hardware or BIOS only way of making it work.
IBM made contradictory statements about their willingness to release the specifications of the hardware sensor and its API to the linux community or some developers. Although a lot of developers and other interested people from the OpenSource community actively contacted IBM to get the specs, in fact they never got them.

However, after first efforts of [http://www.kernelthread.com/software/ams/ Amit Singh on a PowerBook] and [http://www.almaden.ibm.com/cs/people/marksmith/tpaps.html Mark Smith on a ThinkPad], the [[HDAPS]] project was founded to produce a linux kernel driver for the acceleration sensor and a user space application to monitor it. Later, a kernel patch to enable harddisk parking followed.

See [[How to protect the harddisk through APS]] for instructions and [[Problem with APS harddisk parking]] for Troubleshooting.

Furthermore, a list of alternative applications like theft alarm and others can be found on the [[HDAPS]] driver page.

==Tilt detection field tests==
Using Perl code for WinXP:
<pre>
use Win32API::File qw(:ALL);
sub get_tilt {
my $file = createFile("//./ShockMgr", "r ke") or die "Can't get ShockMgr device";
DeviceIoControl($file, 0x733fc, [], 0, my($buf), 0x24, my($bytes), []);
my @data = unpack "x4s*", $buf;
return @data[1, 0];
}
</pre>
my T42 gives values of roughly 490 when at rest in normal upright position with base parallel to the ground. As I gently tilt the T42 through all possible x or y angles, the values range from about 335-645, meaning a resolution of about 155 units per Earth gravity. This seems to suggest that the operating range of the APS is actually about +-3 gs, although the ADXL320 is supposed to allow +-5 gs.

As the tilt angle is the arcsine of the normalized APS reading, the Thinkpad is most tilt sensitive when in a normal upright position with base parallel to the ground. In this position, the tilt resolution is about 0.35 - 0.4 degrees. At maximum tilt, the resolution is much worse, about 6.5 degrees.

Shouldn't matter much, but my tests are at an elevation of about 60 meters above sea level.

===More field tests===
When placed on a reasonably flat and reasonably horizontal work surface my T43 provides readings of about x=503 and y=569. I wrote a command-line application in C# (using the .NET DllImport annotation to access the sensor.dll API) to log the sensor readings at some interval. With 150ms sampling I found the following extreme values: 335 to 654 for x, and 409 to 723 for y.

<pre>
x: 494.5 +/- 159.5
y: 566.0 +/- 157.0
</pre>

Based on the maximum and minimum x and y readings I calculated the above "zero" and range values in order to convert the sensor readings to degrees and wrapped this up in a small graphical application for Windows. My data, source code, executables and a complete description can be found [http://www.stanford.edu/~bsuter/thinkpad-accelerometer/ here].

UltraNav

===IBM UltraNav===
The classic integrated pointing device in ThinkPads was always a trackpoint. With the T30 IBM introduced UltraNav, a combination of both the classical [[TrackPoint]] coupled with a programmable touchpad. The technology for this combined pointing device comes from Synaptics. The TouchPad features all kind of customizable ways of input, from standard pointing over scrolling by movement along the edges, tap zones, to ignoring accidential touches.
</div>
|}

==Linux Support==
Both the TrackPoint and the TouchPad work with the standard ps2/psaux driver of linux kernels.

To get advanced configurability for the touchpad working there are several drivers for Synaptics TouchPads available for X:
*[[Synaptics TouchPad driver for X]] is an X input driver
*[[tpconfig]] is a tool to configure the TouchPad device before the actual input driver takes over

To get advanced configurability for the TrackPoint, look at the [[Patch to enable advanced trackpoint configuration | TrackPoint kernel patch]]. (Since 2.6.14-rc5 this patch is included in the mainline kernel)

==Windows Support==
The UltraNav driver from IBM is based on the Synaptics driver. It contains a bug leading to "defective pixels":
If the scroll-function of the touchpad is used (moving finger on right border of touchpad), often taskmanger shows
an application/window on its first tab named "Syn Visual Window". Sometimes this stays on the screen and in task
manager. It is a 1x1 pixel large window that is usually white. If you move the mouse directly over this pixel,
a little icon appears like if the middle trackpoint button is used to scroll.
This pixel can be removed by terminating SynTP* processes in taskmanager. Some claim that it can be removed by
using the middle trackpoint button, althought this is not always the case.
So far this problem has been reproduced on T60P and T41P, but only by scrolling large wegpages in Firefox.
After Firefox was closed, the pixel is still there.
IBM was able to reproduce this by installing Firefox on a fresh recovery image in their labs. But they
refuse to fix this or pass it to Synaptics or their driver developers, because Firefox "is not supported".
Guess IBM only wants you to use IE.
This bug is quite annoying because people think it's a wandering defective pixel

Recently, A T42 with Windows XP and Internet Explorer 7 was also able to reproduce this issue.

Verizon 1xEV-DO WWAN

Lemon84: /* Models featuring this Technology */

From the TABOOK.PDF reference ('''Lenovo Training Solutions, Personal Systems Reference''', November 2005 Number 299):

''Some models: Wireless WAN Sierra Wireless 1xEV-DO Network Adapter, Mini PCIe Adapter, EV-DO/1xRTT, WWAN antenna on display, service contract reqd with VerizonÂ® Wireless.''

''WWAN: Requires service contract with Verizon; monthly service charges and airtime charges will apply. Roaming charges may also apply. Service not available in all areas. Verizon, not Lenovo, is solely responsible for the Verizon Wireless service. Visit the following Web site for more information: www.verizonwireless.com.''

[http://www.lenovo.com/news/us/en/2005/09/zseries.html "Lenovo Widens Small Business Portfolio with Industryâ€™s Thinnest and Lightest 14-inch Widescreen Notebook" press announcement]:

'''First Notebook to Integrate High Speed EV-DO Wireless WAN''' (9/19/2005)
''The Z60m and Z60t are the first standard notebooks ever to integrate a high-speed, Evolution Data Optimized (EV-DO)(5) wireless wide area network (WWAN) antenna for Verizon Wireless Broadband Access. The built-in WWAN antenna helps avoid many of the pitfalls associated with PC cards, including hardware incompatibility and fragile, easily damaged antennas protruding from the computer. Verizon Wirelessâ€™ network features one of the fastest connection rates in the U.S. with average speeds between 400-700 kilobytes per second (kbps). It also provides another layer of data security and protection, as it isn't susceptible to the same vulnerabilities as a shared hot spot connection, such as data theft.''

''Several innovative multimedia features â€” including hot keys to control application functions and ports to easily upload digital images and video â€” make the Z Series optimal for business or home use, including presentations, multimedia and DVD movies.''

''"One of the trends we're seeing in small businesses is that the line between work and home is blurring," said Chuck Sharp, vice president, Information Technology Solution Providers Alliance (ITSPA). "It's not efficient to spend money on separate pieces of technology for all aspects of your life. Time is at such a premium, that small businesses are looking for technology that not only improves their productivity at work, but also allows them to maximize their personal time â€” at home and when traveling."''

=== Linux Support ===

T60p model works fine under Linux (SuSE 10.1) if you can get it activated and powered on, and apply various hotplug scripts and PPPD scripts.

Initial service activation was done under Windows -- not sure if this is necessary.

Generally it works under Linux. Occasionally after a fresh boot, it will not connect with an apparent failure to power on the device. The only solution seems to be to reboot into Windows, connect from there, reboot into linux, switch the wireless power switch off and on again, then connect. Then it works fine again. (There must be a better way!)

Z60 model was report to work always (without the Windows shenanigans).

X60s seems to work ok.

In my T60 is not needed to boot Linux to power on the device. The device is a USB serial, and the proceeding to work is:

=== Instructions ===

Great Articles on setting up EVDO and the Sierra Wireless card, it requires an upgrade of the sierra.c driver. If you are stuck this article will certainly help you out. Scroll to the one of the last entries and follow the steps..
http://kenkinder.com/evdo-pc5740/
http://www.sierrawireless.com/faq/ShowFAQ.aspx?ID=601

(I am Debian user, but instructions are applicable for any distribution)

* Insert to SIM Slot (under the battery) a SIM Card
** The UMTS modem is sim-locked by Lenovo (Spain and Germany are Vodafone only); you can request an unlock code from IBM ([[#Unlocking_the_Modem|Unlocking the Modem]])

* Switch on the Wireless switch. Antenna LED will light. If it is not lighting, press Fn+F5 until it lights (usually not needed)

* If you type lsusb it will appear:

Other devices...
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 1199:6804 Sierra Wireless, Inc.
Other devices...

* Then, load the Sierra module:
modprobe sierra

* (PROBABLY UNNECESSARY) In system log, you will have some messages with 3 (usually) new USB Serial ports. You only need the first one (/dev/ttyUSB0). If you don't have /dev/ttyUSB0, ttyUSB1, etc. you can create using:

cd /dev
mknod ttyUSB0 c 188 0
mknod ttyUSB1 c 188 1
mknod ttyUSB2 c 188 2

* Easy way to say hello to your modem:

cat /dev/ttyUSB0 &
echo AT > /dev/ttyUSB0 (you should expect "OK")
echo AT+CPIN? > /dev/ttyUSB0 (you should expect ready, if you don't need to enter PIN)
fg
''<Ctrl-C>''

* After it, you can use /dev/ttyUSB0 as GPRS+UMTS modem. You can use wvdial or pppd directly. Remember that you may need to insert PIN number.

* How to collect your hex formatted ESN in software for service activiation (useful for internal EVDO cards):

Open a terminal as root. Run:

cat /dev/ttyUSB0 &
echo AT+GSN > /dev/ttyUSB0

You should see the AT command and an ESN in hex followed by an OK. Give the hex number to the person activating your service. An example is provided below:

<pre>
AT+GSN

0xDEADBEEF

OK
</pre>

Here a list of some useful AT-Commands:

* at+cfun=0 - Set card to low power output. For being a friend to your battery.
* at+cfun=1 - Set card to full power output. If card is in low power mode, the card will reset, and you have to unload and than load the serial module.
* at+cgreg? - Show the state of network searching.
** If it displays +CGREG: 0,2 this means, the card is searching for a network.
** If it displays +CGREG: 0,1,XXXX,YYYY this means, that you are logged in your HOME-Net
** If it displays +CGREG: 0,5,XXXX,YYYY this means, that you are logged in a Roaming-Net

A link: http://www.kuix.de/umts/vodafone/

=== Unlocking the Modem ===

You can request an unlock code from Lenovo by calling the IBM support and requesting this code. You have to agree that you won't get any support related to UMTS and Vodafone anymore.
The Modem in X61(s) is not locked anymore. It accepts SIM cards other than Vodafone without entering a code.
You can enter the unlock code like this:

cat /dev/ttyUSB0 &
echo 'AT+CLCK="PN",0,"12345678"' > /dev/ttyUSB0
fg
''<Ctrl-C>''

If you see OK, everything went fine. (NB: the windows manual provided by IBM is a LOT larger and even more difficult.)

=== Debian ===

The card (on the X60s anyway) is not supported by the sierra module in the vanilla 2.6.18 kernel in Etch. (I worked round this by dist-upgrading to Sid; however this could also be doable by building your own kernel / using a backports.org kernel of a later version; I will test both these with Etch again when I have a chance to).

==== Stuff missing ====
* Someone should write a small ruby script that provides a nice dialog for unlocking the device
* How do I find out whether a device IS locked (by checking with the modem, not try and error)

Ethernet Controllers

2007-12-16T12:21:58Z

Lemon84: /* Intel Gigabit (10/100/1000) */

== Internal Ethernet controller ==

A variety of [[Ethernet]] controllers is integrated into almost all models starting with the introduction of the A, T and X series.

The Ethernet controller is located on either a MiniPCI card, Communications Daughter Card (CDC), or integrated on the systemboard.

=== 3COM Fast Ethernet (10/100) ===
MiniPCI cards featuring this chip:
*[[3Com 10/100 Ethernet Mini-PCI Adapter with 56K Modem]]

=== Intel Fast Ethernet (10/100) ===
CDC and MiniPCI cards featuring this chip:
*[[Ethernet Daughter Card (EDC)]]
*[[Intel 10/100 Ethernet Mini-PCI Adapter with 56K Modem]]
*[[Intel PRO/100 SP Mobile Combo Adapter]]
*[[Mini-PCI Ethernet card]]
*[[Xircom 10/100 EtherJet Mini PCI Adapter with 56K Modem]]

In addition, this chip is integrated into select systemboards of the following machines:<br>
'''Intel 82550GY'''
* {{R30}}
'''Intel 82558'''
* [[SelectaBase PC Card Enabler with Advanced EtherJet]]
* [[ThinkPad Port Replicator with Advanced EtherJet]]
'''Intel 82562ET'''
* {{R31}}, {{R32}}
* {{T30}}
* {{X30}}
'''Intel 82562EZ'''
* {{R40}}, {{R50e}}, {{R50}}, {{R51}}
* {{T40}}
* {{X31}}

Driver: [[e100]] (The 'e100' driver is the suggested driver, but '[[eepro100]]' should also work.)

=== Intel Gigabit (10/100/1000) ===
Chipset: Intel PRO/1000 MT Mobile Ethernet<br />
Driver: [[e1000]]

This chip is integrated into select systemboards of the following machines:<br>
'''Intel 82540EP'''
* {{R50}}, {{R50p}}, {{R51}}
* {{T40}}, {{T40p}}, {{T41}}, {{T41p}}, {{T42}}, {{T42p}}
* {{X31}}, {{X32}}
'''Intel 82541GI'''
* {{X40}}
'''Intel 82573L''' (PCI-Express)
* {{T60}}, {{T60p}}
* {{X60}}, {{X60s}}
'''Intel 82566MM''' (PCI-Express) (w/ [[Intel Active Management Technology (AMT)]])
* {{T61}}, {{T61p}}, {{X61}}, {{X61s}}, {{X61_Tablet}}
Note: DO NOT(!!!) use the "irqpoll" boot parameter. This causes the network card to lose it's irq, and makes any stability of the network connection impossible.
Note: There is a [[Problem with e1000: Open issue with latency|known issue]] with the e1000, t60/t60p and the 2.6.17 kernel. It is unconfirmed if this issue effects other configurations.<br>
Note: This chip supports Auto-MDIX, meaning you will never need a crossover ethernet cable.<br>
Note: The first signs of explicit support for this chip in 2.6 kernels is with 2.6.12-rc2.<br>
Note: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 (2.4 kernel based) begins 82573L support with Update 7.<br>
Note: Some users report issues: [[Problem_with_e1000:_EEPROM_Checksum_Is_Not_Valid]]<br>
Note: Some users have reported [http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?p=201279&sid=787564d7cf9de5d7d76b0cb312a98c61 latency problems] with e1000 driver. It seems, that [http://agenda.clustermonkey.net/index.php/Tuning_Intel_e1000_NICs switching off Interupt Throttle Rate (ITR)] helps. <br>
Note: [http://support.intel.com/support/network/sb/CS-009209.htm Additional configuration options from Intel]<br/>
Note: Another possibility is to use "RxIntDelay=5".

For Gentoo users - compile e1000 as a kernel module and add 'options e1000 InterruptThrottleRate=0,0' to /etc/modules.d/e1000

I had serious performance problems on Ubuntu Edgy (ca. 400 kb/s File transfer rate).
I compiled version e1000-7.3.20 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/ and this solved my problem.
All other hints above did not improve the file transfer performance (they did improve the ping latency) for me.

=== Broadcom Fast Ethernet (10/100) ===
Driver: [[tg3]] or [[bcm5700]]

This chip is integrated into select systemboards of the following machines:<br>
'''Broadcom BCM5901'''
* {{G40}}, {{G41}}
* {{R40e}}
'''Broadcom BCM5751F'''
* {{R51e}}

=== Broadcom Gigabit (10/100/1000) ===
Driver: [[tg3]] or [[bcm5700]]

This chip is integrated into select systemboards of the following machines:

'''Broadcom BCM5752M'''
* {{Z61e}}

'''Broadcom BCM5751M'''
* {{R52}}, {{R60}}
* {{G41}}
* {{T43}}, {{T43p}}
* {{X41}}, {{X41T}}
* {{Z60m}}, {{Z60t}}
* {{Z61m}}, {{Z61p}}

Note: There are some problems with the driver since kernel 2.6.17 (at least on a Z61p, Z61m). After an ifdown && ifup it doesn't work anymore. A possible workaround is to build the tg3-driver as a module and reload it when this problem occours. (Adding ''pre-up modprobe tg3'' and ''post-down rmmod tg3'' to the corresponding section in /etc/network/interfaces works fine.) Rebooting the machine would also be possible.
This is fixed in kernel 2.6.19-rc5.

The T43 with a stock Linux 2.6.18.1 kernel does not have any problems.
