Bug#271882: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686: Upgrade 2.6.7 => 2.6.8 breaks the module pcnet32
Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686
Version: 2.6.8-2
Severity: important
After upgrading to 2.6.8, the module 'pcnet32' ethercard driver does not
work any more. As soon as I modprobe the module, the NIC's (Advanced
Micro Devices [AMD] 79c978 [HomePNA]) 'LINE' light goes off and the
link never comes up. No error messages whatsoever (the module init
output looks exactly the same as in 2.6.7, and the card seems to be
working until I actually try to use the connection). When I boot 2.6.7,
everything works as expected.
I could test 2.6.8-386 or a custom kernel too, if needed.
