Bug#405203: linux-2.6: tulip module handles dmfe cards

[Rafael Steiner <steiner_rafael@kbw.ch>]

Subject: linux-2.6: tulip module handles dmfe cards
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.18-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


Davicom NICs (dmfe Kernel module) are handled with the tulip module, so
network access does not work, the following error Message appears in
dmesg:

tulip_stop_rxtx() failed

Ubuntu users also reported this problem and fixed it:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/48287

The patch for this problem can be found here:
http://librarian.launchpad.net/3009951/tulip_patch.diff

There is a temporary workaround for this problem:

rmmod tulip
rmmod dmfe
modprobe dmfe

Thanks for fixing this...
