Description Matt Whiteley 2003-11-27 19:27:35 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1)
Gecko/20031114 Epiphany/1.0.4

Description of problem:
The network card (3com 3C940) on the Asus P4P800 Deluxe (and others)
is not recognized during install.

The driver source code is available from the asus website at:
http://www.asus.com/pub/ASUS/lan/3com/3c940/046_Linux.zip

The driver compiles under Fedora Core 1.  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-smp-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.i686.rpm

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run Fedora Core Installer
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  NIC not recognized, no networking.

Expected Results:  NIC recognized, networking enabled.

Additional info:

All files in the driver release are licensed under the GPL.

If a module was included in the kernel, it would upgrade with the
kernel each time, and not have to be rebuilt locally.

Module should be included in the kernel, modprobe sk98lin.  Need to
update so that the onboard 940s are properly recognized.

This is fixed in the current shipping FC2 hwdata

cat /usr/share/hwdata/pcitable | grep sk98lin
0x10b7  0x1700  "sk98lin"       "3Com Corporation|3c940
10/100/1000Base-T [Marvell]"
