Re: eth0 problem after kernal package upgrade
Thanks Shayamal. I have the following lines from 'dmesg' on 2.2.20 kernel:
"eth0: Macronix 98715 PMAC rev 37 at 0xd400, 00:80:C6:EA:C0:69, IRQ 4
eth0: EEPROM default media type 10baseT.
via-rhine.c:v1.08b-LK1.0.1 12/14/2000"
How can I discern the name of the driver module for 2.4.18 from this?
Neal.
