From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Q312461) Description of problem: The installer appears to detect my Davicom DM9102 NIC correctly in the installation log (as viewed on one of the virtual consoles at the end of the installation) but when I reboot and perform "modprobe -c", I see, "alias eth0 tulip". Furthermore, the Network Configuration in Gnome shows, "DEC 21040...". Finally, "ifconfig eth0" shows a bunch of errors: RX packets:230 errors:710 .. TX packets:0 errors:4. If I use the Gnome Network Configuration to delete the DEC 21040 and add Davicom DM9102, the errors shown by ifconfig go away. (Actually, Network Configuration didn't permit me to install the DM9102 in until after I had installed the latest updates to the system, including kernel-2.4.9-21.i686.rpm.) Since this is an installation problem, I wouldn't expect this bug to be corrected until the next version, but I would expect to see something about it in a Bugzilla query of "dmfe". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.7-10.i686.rpm How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RH 7.2 from CD 2. /sbin/modprobe -c | grep eth0 Actual Results: alias eth0 tulip Expected Results: alias eth0 dmfe Additional info: The NIC device is a CNet Pro200, CNet Technology Inc. http://www.cnet.com.tw/ The hardware address is 00:80:AD:76:78:6B (in case this is used for detection of the device type.)
Will be fixed in hwdata-0.3-1.
