Description Jerone Young 2004-09-06 06:28:52 UTC
Description of problem:
My motherboard (Abit AV8) comes with an intergated Via Velocity
network card. This network card uses the "via_velocity" network device
driver in the kernel. When I try to do a network install of Fedora (so
that I can install the latestest Fedora 3 Dev build), my network card
is not detected, nor is the driver listed in the dialogue box to
choose drivers.

"lspci -v:"
00:0e.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.: Unknown device
3119 (rev 11 )
        Subsystem: ABIT Computer Corp.: Unknown device 1415
        Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 177
        I/O ports at b400
        Memory at fa020000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256]
        Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2

Added in CVS.

Sweet! I'll wait till friday to try it out, by then the fix should be
intergated into what is on the net.

Comment 3 Jerone Young 2004-09-09 04:32:17 UTC
This is fixed. But the card is sending tones of bad packets, and my
router just kills over. Can't understand why (I've been using the card
fine under Fedora 2). I'll have to whoop out ethreal , and file a new
bug on this.
