Description Klaus Lehnen 2002-01-11 14:42:48 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0)

Description of problem:
the second eepro100 adapter does not use parameter in /etc/modules.conf

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Activate two intel eepr100 Network Cards in your server 
2. Force the speed and mode in /etc/modules.conf
3. reboot the server or run /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart
	

Actual Results:  the first eepro100 adapter uses the options 
in /etc/modules.conf.
the second does not use the options in /etc/modules.conf.

Expected Results:  both adapter should use the options in /etc/modules.conf.
in my case:
Both eepro100 should run with 100/FD-mode.

My Workaround:
============== 
I use a startup script /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99eth1_100fd with content:
ifdown eth1
mii-tool -v --force 100baseTx-FD eth1
ifup eth1

Additional info:

my /etc/modules.conf

Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2002-01-15 20:55:57 UTC

Ok can you try:
options eth0 options=0x30,0x30
instead?
 (ok looks weird but..)

also I would be interested to know if/why the eepro100 doesn't autodetect the
proper speed automatically.....

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2002-01-15 22:02:46 UTC

you also may want to try 'options eepro100'....

Comment 3 Arjan van de Ven 2002-02-11 15:43:19 UTC

Any progress on this ?

Comment 4 Klaus Lehnen 2002-02-12 09:28:57 UTC

it works fine with the following entry in /etc/modules.conf:
options eth0 options=0x30,0x30

Comment 5 Arjan van de Ven 2002-02-12 09:34:05 UTC

Ok, I'll close this issue as "WORKSFORME"; it's not an optimal solution but
there's nothing the kernel can do, the kernel has nothing to do with
/etc/modules.conf at all.
