Version: N/A; reported 2003-04-14
Severity: normal
Hello,
I am using Tollef's daily build of d-i and have discovered that
ethdetect is trying to use the wrong kernel driver for my (builtin) NIC.
This used to work correctly in the past (as recently as last week), but
it seems that the kernel package(s) are now using the Intel e100 driver
instead of eepro100, but ethdetect doesn't know about this change...
I worked around this by switching to the shell on the second vc, and
issuing `modprobe e100`.

Right. I'll fix that right away. Thanks. :)

Nope, this is a different bug. The bug you are describing is due to
disocover-data-udeb containing kernel module names for version 2.2 of
the kernel, while we use kernel version 2.4. The bug reported in
#189054 was the wrong choice in a select question in ethdetect.
ethdetect is fixed, and discover-data will hopefully be fixed when
progeny find time to make discover2 udebs available.
Please close bug #189054. It is solved.
If you want to comment on the content of discover-data-udeb, please
add information to bug #175245.
