Re: [MLUG] ethernet driver change

["Daniel Nowlin" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Title: Message

Thanks for the reply.  I tried this but could not get my card to work with the new driver.  I even did a make modules from src and make modules_install just to be sure.  Maybe that is not the driver I need.  Oh well I have been looking for a reason to take out this duel head eepro card and put in a single card since I do not need the duel now.

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.

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.
