Hi Stefan [ report about using dmfe instead of tulip for this particular card ] On Mon, Sep 05, 2005 at 05:58:55PM +0200, Stefan Pauwels wrote: > > >Tell us which kernel version you use ( 2.4. or 2.6 ) > >and provide the output of > > ( lspci ; lspci -n ) | grep -e Ethernet -e 0200 | sort > >to this bugreport > > > Linux kernel: 2.6.12.5 > > eris:/home/stefan# ( lspci ; lspci -n ) | grep -e Ethernet -e 0200 | sort > 0000:02:09.0 0200: 1282:9102 (rev 31) > 0000:02:09.0 Ethernet controller: Davicom Semiconductor, Inc. 21x4x DEC-Tulip compatible 10/100 Ethernet (rev 31) The problem with this is, that after another bugreport (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=284730) the kernel module for this device was changed from dmfe to tulip. It seems that some devices work with the dmfe module while others work with tulip, but yet they both use the same PCI ID. I really don't know what to do in this case. What architecture are you using? Is this i386? If yes I suspect this is another argument to implement architecture specific device lists. Gaudenz -- Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again.
