Bug#515533: linux-2.6.26: tulip module handles dmfe cards (again)
Package: linux-image-2.6-486
Version: 2.6.26+17
Severity: important
After upgrading to linux-2.6.26 from 2.6.18, one of my two network cards stopped working. Closer examination showed lots of
"tulip_stop_rxtx() failed (CSR5 0xfc740000 CSR6 0x2042202)"
messages. It seems that bug #405203 resurfaced again, but I was unable to add a reply there since it's archived already. The workaround described there (rmmod tulip; rmmod dmfe; modprobe dmfe) works for me. A quick diff of the two kernel versions' modules.pcimap files shows that both dmfe and tulip claim responsibility for the same devices (again):
$ diff -y 2.6.18-6-486/modules.pcimap 2.6.26-1-486/modules.pcimap | grep 00001282
