Description Mark Fasheh 2003-09-11 20:29:40 EDT

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225

Description of problem:
The Tigon3 (tg3.o) driver does not use any of the more useful module parameters.
The three I'm referring to are 'full_duplex', 'speed' and 
'autonegotiation'. Of course, one can use ethtool after the module has loaded
but I've got some customers here who really need this to be done at module load
time.

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Just run modinfo on the module:
/sbin/modinfo /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/tg3.o
and you will see that it only supports a debugging parameter.    

Additional info:

Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2003-09-12 03:58:02 EDT

not a bug;
just put
post-install tg3 ethtool ......
in /etc/modules.conf and ethtool gets run at module load time.
