helloif in bios , the parport is configured in ecp mode, we have to add another line in modules.conf: options parport_pc irq=auto
i 'm testing plip module and it works manually
before selecting plip from network modules list, i have to insmod partport_pc
the problem is that in modules.dep, plip depends on parport and patport_pc depends on parport too
but without parport_pc i have never succeded to make plip work
so we have to add in rootskel/src/etc/modules.conf: alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
but it does not work with SPP (standard mode) so we must put instead in modules.conf: options parport io=0x378 irq=7 (many default bios config) , and it works in ecp mode too
the first bad solution is to hardwire these options in modules.conf but it's arch specific
=> so we have to put modutils tool in rootskel
and the next solution is to display the ethdetect/params window for parport_pc module when the user select plip
=> so we have to create a sort of module dependences tool for module params window :
=> example a ddetect.dep file with: "plip: parport_pc"
so if the user wants to config the plip module , he has to config the parport_pc module too ;)
that's all folks sylvain
