Hey Guys,
Just wanted to report a problem with the tulip driver. Alexander
perhaps you know more about this...
Anyway, using a livecd built from very recent trunk, it loads the
tulip driver for my network card:
However, after some time, the card stops working - the network
connection sort of freezes. If I 'rmmod tulip' and then 'modprobe
dmfe' and restart the network, everything works and is stable.
Please ignore my previous reply. A more proper solution is to write down
the PCI ID of your card (lspci -n) and patch it out of the
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE of tulip driver in the kernel source. See the
attached patch, please verify if this is correct and works for you. I
have CC: ed the maintainer of the tulip driver.
I am not sure if this is actually correct and/or matches the upstream
wishes, but this may well be a short-term solution for the livecd.
Anyway, two drivers claimilg to support the same PCI ID is a bad thing.
