Bill is this something we need to change in the pcitable? Eh, well, it's a matter of the tulip driver being broken. We *could* alias it to de4x5. So this is a hwdata issue? It's actually more of a kernel issue... the driver claims to support those cards, and was originally written for them. It just doesn't work. Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/ |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020408 Description of problem: I have installed RH 7.3 on a Digital Personal Workstation 350i. The network card was correctly recognized as a Digital DS21142, but the installer selected tulip.o as the module for the card ('alias eth0 tulip' in modules.conf). This caused an error on every packet sent or received. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Simply install the OS on the workstation Actual Results: See description. Expected Results: See description. Additional info: RedHat HCL lists the DS21142 card as supported by the module de4x5. Setting 'alias eth0 de4x5' in modules.conf solves the bug.
