User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041115

Description of problem:
When you run redhat-config-network to configure your NIC, it will insert the module name DL2K in /etc/modules.conf instead of dl2k. This causes the NIC not be activated on boot. For example:

   alias eth1 DL2K

instead of

   alias eth1 DL2K


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
redhat-config-network-1.2.58-1-noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use redhat-network-config to configure your NIC
2. 
3.
  

Actual Results:  "alias eth1 DL2K" is added to /etc/modules.conf. Module name DL2K does not exist.

Expected Results:  It should have been "alias eth1 dl2k".

Comment 2 Guy Streeter 2005-04-05 15:07:18 UTC 
Does redhat-config-network get the module name from the ETHTOOL_GDRVINFO ioctl?
Comment 3 Guy Streeter 2005-04-05 18:44:56 UTC 
The problem is that the dl2k driver returns DL2K instead of dl2k for its driver
name. Attaching a kernel patch that fixes it.

I had to rework the patch for RHEL3...
Comment 9 John W. Linville 2005-04-06 19:02:59 UTC 
I have posted pre-built test kernels w/ the above patch here: 
 
   http://people.redhat.com/linville/kernels/rhel3/ 
 
Please give them a try and confirm that the patch performs as desired.

Pre-built RHEL4 test kernels here: 
 
   http://people.redhat.com/linville/kernels/rhel4/ 
 
Please try those as well.  Thanks!
Comment 13 Guy Streeter 2005-04-22 14:35:29 UTC 
This fix isn't going into RHEL3 unless somebody with a dl2k tests it. See the
test kernels provided in comment #9.

Closed due to inactivity.  Please reopen if/when the requested test results 
are available.
