Description Michael McLagan 2001-11-22 17:47:11 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.19 i686)

Description of problem:
isavalable() does not accomodate kernels with compiled in network drivers.
The call "modprobe -c | awk "/^alias $1 / {print \\$3}" produces "off"
which
results in a failure.  The network interface is not initialized despite
drivers
being present for it.

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. compile kernel with network driver included
2. reboot

	

Actual Results:  eth0 interface is not initialized

Expected Results:  interface should be initialized

Additional info:

kernel is 2.2.19 without netlink, eepro100 driver compiled in

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2005-09-29 19:20:28 UTC
Closing bugs on older, no longer supported, releases. Apologies for any lack of
response.

If this persists on a current release, such as Fedora Core 4, please open a new bug.
