Bug 59877

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Q312461)

Description of problem:
The installer appears to detect my Davicom DM9102 NIC correctly in the 
installation log (as viewed on one of the virtual consoles at the end of the 
installation) but when I reboot and perform "modprobe -c", I see, "alias eth0 
tulip".  Furthermore, the Network Configuration in Gnome shows, "DEC 
21040...".  Finally, "ifconfig eth0" shows a bunch of errors: RX packets:230 
errors:710 .. TX packets:0 errors:4.

If I use the Gnome Network Configuration to delete the DEC 21040 and add 
Davicom DM9102, the errors shown by ifconfig go away.  (Actually, Network 
Configuration didn't permit me to install the DM9102 in until after I had 
installed the latest updates to the system, including kernel-2.4.9-21.i686.rpm.)

Since this is an installation problem, I wouldn't expect this bug to be 
corrected until the next version, but I would expect to see something about it 
in a Bugzilla query of "dmfe".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.4.7-10.i686.rpm

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RH 7.2 from CD
2. /sbin/modprobe -c | grep eth0

Actual Results:  alias eth0 tulip

Expected Results:  alias eth0 dmfe

Additional info:

The NIC device is a CNet Pro200, CNet Technology Inc. http://www.cnet.com.tw/
The hardware address is 00:80:AD:76:78:6B (in case this is used for detection 
of the device type.)
