BCM5709 drivers

[AmiT177]

Hey,
Does anyone know where I could get BCM5709 drivers for CentOS 8?
After upgrading from CentOS 7 it seems like the drivers were deleted and I'm stuck with no networking (`lshw` shows unclaimed and the interfaces are missing on `ip a`).

Thanks!

We need to know the device IDs of your hardware. Please run lspci -nn and show us the output for your network device.

lspci doesn't seem to be installed for some reason.
I've atttached the output of lshw, hopefully that's enough.

I installed pciutils with an external USB drive, the device id is 1639

Then your device has a [14e4:1639] ID pairing. As far as I can see, it is supported by the bnx2 driver which is enabled in CentOS 8. What do you see if you attempt to load the module by 'modprobe bnx2' ?

bnx2 not found in directory /lib/modules/4.18.0-80.11.2.el8_0.86_64

It should exist

filename: /lib/modules/4.18.0-80.11.2.el8_0.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2.ko.xz

Inside `/lib/modules/4.18.0-80.11.2.el8_0.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom` I see two folders, bnx2x and bnxt.
However, it seems like both folders are empty.

I suggest yum reinstall kernel-4.18.0-80.11.2.el8_0.x86_64 kernel-modules-4.18.0-80.11.2.el8_0.x86_64

[AmiT177]

Should I try downloading the RPM and using that?
