RE: [MLUG] ethernet driver change

["Plunkett, Melissa A." <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Title: Message

You can us lsmod, rmmod, modprobe for all your kernel module needs....

lsmod will list kernel modules currently loaded

rmmod <modulename>  removes a loaded module

modprobe - can use for most module handling but most often used to load a module, you're going to

                 need man modprobe to get all the info on this hefty command.

 

Also add an alias to your /etc/modules.conf (on redhat, I think it is the same in MDK?)

So you would change something like...

alias eth0 eepro100

to

alias eth0 e100

 

And that is if the module has already been compiled and is ready to go for your kernel...I'm not positive it is

in MDK but I'd assume so, pretty commonly used module there.

Subject: [MLUG] ethernet driver change

OK.  I have an Ethernet Pro 100 nic in a MDK 10.1 server.  Since I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.8 I have been getting kernel: eth0: freeing mc frame messages in syslog.  After Google'ing the message I found out that it is the old driver(eepro100) with the new kernel causing problems.  A new driver (e100) has been created to solve this problem.  I do not know how to change the driver?  Can anybody help me make this change and do it on a permanent method.
