I'm using hwsetup from knoppix (that kudzu-based system autoconfiguration with the twirly green bar at boot time). It's used to automaticly load the drivers for nfs-root machines running RHEL, fedoras and SLES of all versions. It seems to crap out on SLES 10 (kernel 2.6.16.21-0.8-default). strace shows it goes over /sys for pci devices, reads everything it finds, but still when I run it verbosely it claims all the NICs and most of the other cards are unrecognized or mapped to odd OEMs I never heard of. even common cards like 3c59x and e100 don't get recognized. I could not find docs about the format of sysfs changing. anyone got a clue?
modprobe of the right driver works fine ofcourse. it's just hwsetup and its pci-id database that don't recognize them. I would have moved to udev only I need to support kernel 2.4 as well, and hwsetup is nicely portable (up to now). -- Another word for pirate treasure Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
