Description Peter Bieringer 2004-02-25 19:22:45 UTC
Description of problem:
After upgrading from RHL 7.3 to FC1, kudzu detects that Elsa PCI ISDN
card is a network adaptor and suggested to use it for "eth0"...which
not matches the reality.

Probably on a fresh install the result is the same.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kudzu-1.1.36-1 

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a system with an Elsa PCI ISDN card
2. Install FC1



Actual Results:  kudzu suggest it using as "eth0"


Expected Results:  Not using it as "eth0", makes no sense.

Additional info:

Here are the related information from "kudzu -p"

class: NETWORK
bus: PCI
detached: 0
device: eth0
driver: hisax
desc: "Elsa AG|QuickStep 1000"
vendorId: 1048
deviceId: 1000
subVendorId: 1048
subDeviceId: 1000
pciType: 1
pcibus:  0
pcidev:  f
pcifn:  0

I know, that also on W* system, the card is detected as network card,
but a dump "is network card, use it for eth0" is not so well here.

Perhaps kudzu can recognize that if the driver is not out of the
network driver dir, skip this card.

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2004-02-25 21:04:39 UTC
NETWORK comes from the pci class of the device.

The fun part is that if you exclude the generic network class, you
lose PCI wireless cards. If you *include* it, you get ISDN adapters
and the like.

Comment 2 Peter Bieringer 2004-02-25 21:24:07 UTC
Hmm, who tells kudzu that it should use the "hisax" driver? By PCI id?
If yes, perhaps a black-list is needed...

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2004-02-25 22:24:01 UTC
Yes, it pulls it from modules.pcimap.

Comment 5 Peter Bieringer 2004-05-22 12:21:07 UTC
Looks like it's solved in FC2.

Comment 6 Bill Nottingham 2004-05-24 16:44:04 UTC
Odd, I didn't change anything. Is the driver actually built?

Comment 7 Bill Nottingham 2005-04-28 18:26:40 UTC
Closing; this class match is needed for wireless cards.
