[linux 6.2 -- which distri ?]

What distri of linux your refering to ? Redhat ? SuSE ? Another one ?


[back port of existing drivers for more recent kernels]

There might be no drivers available for kernel 2.2.x for your bcm5752.
As far as I could see there are drivers for 2.4.31 and 2.6.12.

You could back port e.g. the 2.4.31 driver into 2.2.14. Probably that's
what you already tried to do ...

If yes, what error is issued ?

All in all back porting might become a nightmare because with more
recent kernels internal structure might have changed (especially from
major kernel releases like 2.2 to 2.4 or 2.6 ...).


[Upgrade to more recent distri]

Your NIC card seems to be pretty new ...

One idea -- besides back porting the 2.4.31/2.6.12 driver to 2.2.14 --
could be to upgrade to an more recent distri ...

Sorry, that might be no real help ...

Never give up !
