Hello everyone, I asked on the german suse-linux-List without any answers, so maybe you can help.
I got a network card that has a Sundance/IC Plus IP1000A Chip (recognized as > 0000:00:09.0 Ethernet controller: Sundance Technology Inc: Unknown device > 1023 (rev 41) on my Suse 9.3). There is a driver for linux, available at http://www.icplus.com.tw/driver-pp-IP1000A.html On my Suse 9.3 it works fine, the module gets built and loaded at boot by a little script: >> if ! [ -e /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/ipg.ko ] >> then >> make all >> echo "" >> echo "Treiber wurde kompiliert" >> echo "" >> cp ipg.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net >> echo "" >> echo "Modul wurde kompiliert" >> echo "" >> >> else >> echo "Modul wurde schon kompiliert" >> echo "" >> fi >> >> MODUL_GELADEN=`lsmod|grep ipg >/dev/null;echo $?` >> echo "Ist das Modul schon geladen? 0 = heisst ja" >> echo $MODUL_GELADEN >> >> if ! [ $MODUL_GELADEN = 0 ] >> then >> echo "Modul mit insmod installieren" >> insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/ipg.ko >> else >> echo "Modul wurde schon geladen" >> fi >> >> >> echo "" >> echo "Modul wurde installiert" >> echo "" >> echo "IP-Adresse wird gesetzt" >> echo "" >> ifconfig eth0 192.168.178.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 >> echo "IP-Adresse wurde gesetzt" >> echo "" >> echo "Route wird gesetzt" >> echo "" >> route add default gw 192.168.178.1 >> echo "Route wurde gesetzt" >> echo "" On my newly installed Suse 10.1 it compiles, but when trying to "install" the module it says: > insmod: error inserting > '/lib/modules/2.6.16.13-4-default/kernel/drivers/net/ipg.ko': -1 Invalid > module format What to do? Any way to get the card working? Yast does not recognize any card at all, and after a search on the internet I found no newer version of that driver. I think it might be the same change that affected the avm, nvidia, ... drivers. I sent an email to the homepage, but got no answer til now. So: Any hints, anyone? Any ideas, apart from buying another card or waiting for the driver to get into the kernel? Thanks, OJ -- The end of the world is best viewed with Microsoft Universe Exploder v6.66. (unknown)
