[SOLVED] Re: forcedeth driver - bug?



Thanks Selim, that fixed it.

I had tried that months ago on the Wheezy installation I run, but it did not work then - probably I did not update the module dependencies or the initramfs at that time!

I had not realised the importance of the 'options' keyword, having seen few examples of it :-(

No I have not (yet) tried everything! There may be something in a
modprobe.d/foo.conf that could work.
I have tried putting the line
	forcedeth msi=0 msix=0

When you make the foo.conf, don't leave "options" out.

into /etc/modules as appeared to work for this Ubuntu user

but that didn't work for me. He did try

   ^^^^^^^
Should be like this.

Yes, solution is /etc/modprobe.d/forcedeth.conf containing
	options forcedeth msi=0 msix=0

Thank you,
