From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5 Description of problem: The tlan driver module for ThunderLAN network cards seems to be mysteriously missing from my x86_64smp kernel RPM. It may be missing from other versions as well, but either way, I need to use it on my Opteron system and it would be nice if I didn't have to compile it manually. The module doesn't appear to be in the install ISOs either. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a ThunderLAN card. 2. Fail to find drivers for it at install or after install. 3. (don't) profit! Actual Results: The driver module is absent from the kernel RPM, and therefore thunderlan-based network cards cannot easily be used. Expected Results: It would be much nicer if the tlan kernel module was included in the x86_64smp kernel. Thank you. Additional info:
It's marked upstream as not 64-bit compatible. Contacting the upstream maintainer Sam Chessman <chessman> is your best bet, as fixing this really needs someone with the hardware, and knowledge of how the chip works.
