[elrepo] Installing Broadcom tg3 3-3.137k dirvers for CentOS 5.4 - Kernel 2.6.18-164.el5

[Jagdish S. Varma]

Hi
We need to install a 4 Port Broadcom Gigabit NIC Adapter of BCM5719 controller on a Linux System running CentOS 5.4 having kernel 2.6.18-164-el5.
When we attempt to install the drivers using Yum or software installer, it needs dependencies available thru a kernel update 2.6.18-407-el5.

Now the issue is that the client does not want a kernel update. How can install the Broadcom tg3 driver without upgrading the kernel. Apparently got to know that it is looking for "rhel5_drivers_pci_u7" file, but this is not available directly and is delivered with the kernel upgrade.
Can anybody advise me on how to install this without doing the kernel upgrade. I know this is old and has several bugs which are a concern, but the client needs this. I cannot change this requirement. Can I get some advise here.
