Re: newbie problems with eth0
thanx Pontus, that was a start.
After 'modprobe smc-ultra.o' gave me a 'no SMC Ultra card found' error (and
'init-module:
Device or resource busy'), I broke open the box, took a long look at the
board and the chip,
saw it is a 9332, went to the SMC page and found that the driver is tulip.c
So then I tried 'modprobe tulip.o' and got the 'init-module' error (is this
what net-modules.txt
is referring to when it says of tulip.c 'init-time memory allocation makes
problems'?)
How do I find out what is going on with 'init-module'? (Don't know if this
will help, but when I do
an lsmod, I get: slip, shaper, ppp, slhc, eql, dummy, serial, comm, bpck,
aten, ip_aliases, autofs,
paride, and cdrom -- is dummy tying up the device? -- and if so, how do I
remove the module?
modprobe -r dummy.o ?)
