  • Bug#255868: discover behaves differently with e100 and pcnet32

    From Ian Murdock@1:229/2 to All on Wed Aug 18 03:50:05 2004

    Rafael,

    Could you update to discover-data 2.2004.05.03-4 and tell me if
    you're still seeing this? According to the discover database, we
    added a mapping from 1022:2000 to pcnet32 on April 26, so it should
    work for any version of discover-data newer then 2.2004.05.03-1.

    Thanks,

    -ian

    discover loads the e100 driver at boot time and manually:

    #rmmod e100
    #discover-modprobe
    #lsmod | grep e100
    e100 32384 0
    mii 5120 1 e100

    This does not work with a pcnet32 card. Discover (correctly) lists:

    Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c970 [PCnet32 LANCE]
    Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c970 [PCnet32 LANCE]

    but discover-modprobe does not load the module.

    This causes the boot time load of the pcnet32 device to be delayed until hutplug starts.

    the output from lspci and lspci -n is

    0000:00:0c.0 Ethernet controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c970 [PCnet32 LANCE] (rev 26)

    0000:00:16.0 Class 0200: 1022:2000 (rev 26)

    Thanks.
