Hey list, During my custom kernel configuration using "make localmodconfig" I noticed that the "fjes" driver was configured. I wondered why this network driver was needed for my laptop, so I have done some research. According this [1] linux-netdev mailing list entry, which introduces the fjes module, it is only needed for Extended Partitions of Fujitsu Primequest 2000 series servers. This mail [2] refers to a Fujitsu document in which these special Extended Partitions are explained. I am sure that I don't need this driver for my ThinkPad T450s. Nevertheless it is loaded because of an ACPI device "PNP0C02" which is linked to the module [3]. TL;DR Can someone confirm if this module is loaded on their hardware, even if you don't have a Fujitsu Primequest 2000 series server?
