Re: new Kernel 2.4 missing "Old Tulip" module ?
I have tried the "Generic DECchip & DIGITAL EtherWORKS
PCI/EISA" module and build it into the kernel.
The Netgear FA310TX cannot brings up after reboot.
Here is the part of the boot message:
Modprobe: modprobe : Can't locate module eth0
Configuring network interfaces: SIOCSIFADDR: No such
device
Eth0: unknown interface: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device
Eth0: unknown interface: No such device
Eth0: unknown interface: No such device
Done
.
.
After login, the ifconfig appears lo (Local Loopback)
only.
Do you have any suggestion?
Warm Regards,
Jack
P.s. I have tried the "DECchip Tulip (dc21x4x) PCI
support' and it work ok with my Netgear card most of
the time, except it locks up the eth0, if there was a
few minutes of network outage.
Example: The upstream network has outage for 10
minutes and the Netgear will lock up eth0 even the
network backs on. I have to manually use ifdown eth0
and ifup eth0 to brings it up.
