Hello,
I'd like to get some feedback as to whether anyone is actually using the dmfe Davicom kernel module on sparc for 10/100 ethernet. To the best of my knowledge, Sun never manufactured any expansion cards that utilize the Davicom chip and the UltraAX-i2 motherboard (Netra X1 and Sunfire V100) is the only Sun motherboard that uses the chip. That particular motherboard uses the tulip kernel module though, not the dmfe kernel module. Since the PCI ID of the UltraAX-i2's onboard ethernet (1282:9102 - Davicom 9102) matches up with both the dmfe module and the tulip module, both modules attempt to load and end up causing the network interface to malfunction. My question is - is anyone actually using the dmfe kernel module on sparc and/or would it be ok to set the default to not build the dmfe kernel module on sparc? I presume that the only scenario where anyone would actually be using the dmfe kernel module on sparc would be if they've installed a PCI NIC originally intended for x86 machines into their sparc machine. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-sparc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
