Description Bryan Leopard 2001-01-11 04:12:31 UTC
The installation uses eepro100 by default.  Compaq would like for it to 
default to use e100.

Comment 1 Michael Fulbright 2001-01-11 16:57:11 UTC
Assigning to kudzu.

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2001-01-11 17:00:58 UTC
For *everything*? Eww.

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2001-01-11 17:06:35 UTC
What particular cards does Compaq need this for?

That doesn't help us; we need the lspci output.

In any case, it's very unlikely that we'll change it for the majority
of cards unless Intel changes the licensing so that the driver is allowable
in the standard kernel. You'll have to talk to Intel about that. After that,
we can consider the driver on its technical merits.

Compaq Bug #: 192315

Comment 8 Arjan van de Ven 2001-05-21 15:21:15 UTC
Can you explain WHY you want the e100 driver? 
The eepro100 should just work; e100 is known to cause problems AND is only 
available for i386 architecture.
