an error message such as "unidentified symbol" (sorry I don't

This happens systematically for the kernel-2.4.20-19.8  and kernel-2.4.20-19.8. 
in the previous kernel, kernel-2.4.18-27.8.0 eepro100 works fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.4.20-19.8  and kernel-2.4.20-19.8

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot on kernel-2.4.20-19.8 or kernel-2.4.20-19.8
2.load module (if not done automatically) insmod eepro100

Actual Results:  error messages

Can you try e100 driver instead?


Comment 2 Dominique Mangeol 2003-08-19 16:52:42 UTC
e100 does not work either in those 2 kernels (works fine in the previous one)

Comment 3 Jeff Garzik 2003-08-27 17:33:49 UTC
Can you provide 'lspci -vvv' and 'dmesg' output?


Comment 4 Dave Jones 2004-01-05 19:32:12 UTC
