From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 95) Description of problem: Kudzu is assigning wrong device type and driver for this board Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put this ethernet board in your system 2. Boot and let kudzu detect it 3. Look bizarre things in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf and /etc/modules.conf Actual Results: In /etc/sysconfig/hwconf I found: ------------------>8------------------------ class: AUDIO bus: ISAPNP detached: 0 driver: cs4232 desc: "CS8920 Ethernet Adapter:Unknown" deviceId: CSC6040 pdeviceId: CSC6040 native: 0 active: 0 cardnum: 0 logdev: 0 mem: 0x0,0x200 ------------------>8------------------------ Doing 'cat /proc/isapnp' I got: ------------------>8------------------------ Card 1 'CSC6040:CS8920 Ethernet Adapter' PnP version 1.0 Product version 1.0 Logical device 0 'CSC6040:Unknown' Supported registers 0x2 Device is not active Active memory ,0x200 Resources 0 Priority preferred Port 0x200-0x360, align 0xf, size 0x10, 16-bit address decoding IRQ 3,4,5,6,7,2/9,10,11,12,14,15 High-Edge ------------------>8------------------------ I don't have /etc/modules.conf anymore, but I remember kudzu wrote there wrong driver assosiations. Expected Results: This is a ISA ethernet card, and not a sound card. In /etc/sysconfig/hwconf we should expect this: ------------------>8------------------------ class: NETWORK bus: ISAPNP detached: 0 driver: cs89x0 desc: "CS8920 Ethernet Adapter:Unknown" ------------------>8------------------------ /lib/modules/<version>/kernel/drivers/net/cs89x0.o is the correct driver for this board. Additional info: Anyway, this driver is not working well. The README files say you must boot with a DOS bootable disk with a Cirrus software, to configure this board in no-PnP mode. After doing this, the driver still didn't worked for me. Check http://www.cirrus.com/Drivers/ethernet/ethernet.cfm
The fix to not detect it as a sound card will be in kudzu-0.99.41-1. As for automatically configuring it, kudzu won't do that until isapnp support is added to the driver. Assigning to the kernel, as that's where that work would have to be (and also where bug reports about the driver not working would go.).
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists.
