X64 release issue - BCM57780 card

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi,
I installed Openwrt today on an old PC but it doesn't recognize its embedded network card, only another one that I added.
I appreciate any advice on what to do to get this card up and running.
Thanks in advance.

correct (?) driver installed:

kmod-libphy - 4.14.215-1
kmod-phy-broadcom - 4.14.215-1
kmod-phylib-broadcom - 4.14.215-1

check if you need kmod-tg3 for the broadcom.

Do you mean, install and see what happens?

EDIT: It worked, thanks! (I installed kmod-tg3 package and reboot)
