You only need pci-scan if you use the donald becker/scyld.com drivers,
but this tulip.o is from the normal kernel tree...
Thanks for the hints. I'm new to LEAF, and the nuances of Bering and
Bering-uClibc are not obvious to the novice. Silly me, I believed
the documentation on the web site, which clearly states that pci-scan
is required by tulip.
Please refer to "Project: LEAF - Linux Embedded Appliance Firewall:
Document Manager" (http://sourceforge.net/docman/?group_id=13751),
section 03, "Installation and Initial Configuration Questions
Answered", the document titled, "How Do I make LEAF see my Ethernet
cards" (http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?
docid=1418&group_id=1375).
That document clearly states:
In LEAF, the only dependencies affecting NIC modules involve the use
of the 8390.o and pci-scan.o modules.
The pci-scan.o module is required for almost all pci network cards.
So, to answer your question why I think pci-scan is required: RTFM on
the project web page on Sourceforge.
Thanks again for the help, and you might consider updating the
documentation on the web page such that it reflects current reality.
