| |
Hi there.
We got a new machine here a few days ago - an Intel ICH D865 PERL board based Pentium IV machine, with an on-board Intel EtherExpress Pro 100 VE.
After Linux was installed on it, I was called to see why the network adapter does not work. The module was not loaded automatically (it was Red Hat something - don't remember, don't use it normally, but it has some sort of hardware detection), and loading the eepro100 modules failed (no such device).
After a few minutes, I traced it to the PCI ID (8086:1050) not being in the module's table (new chip or something, apparently). Having added it, it seems to work.
Following is a trivial patch for it:
<patch> --- drivers/net/eepro100.c.orig Sat Jun 14 14:51:26 2003 +++ drivers/net/eepro100.c Sat Jun 14 14:51:08 2003 @@ -2392,6 +2392,7 @@ { PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, 0x103C, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, }, { PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, 0x103D, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, }, { PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, 0x103E, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, }, + { PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, 0x1050, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, }, { PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, 0x1059, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, }, { PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, 0x1227, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, }, { PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, 0x1228, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, }, </patch> I am not sure how reliable it is, and whther other modifications should be made, but it worked fine for now.
I tried the alternative e100 driver - didn't originally work as well, but I did not bother to try patching it too.
Anyway, I would like it to be added to the driver, so that new machines with that adapter will work out of the box.
Thanks, -- Tom
