Hi ,
i have following machine with specs:
* Amd 3000+ 64 bit
* Asus M2N-MX Mother Board with nVidia Chip set.
* openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 OS
i have installed the suse well ,but installation never detected by
Nvidia Chip set on board LAN.
After installation i rebooted the machine and try to configure the LAN
card via Yast2 but it failed to detect the card & given the choice of
loading the module .
i am not aware of exact module neither i found any module entry for
Nvidia LAN card driver.
then i had FC6 installed on same machine with different slice.. i
checked the
#vi /fc6/etc/modprobe.conf where i found an entry "alias eth0 forcedeth"
i make the same entry in Suse "/etc/modprobe.conf.local"
and rebooted the machine .
Suse dmesg output has give me the following errors :
Found Nvidia MCP61 ethernet driver reverse engineered (Rev 2.0 )
Consult the Hardware vendor MAC address invalid
[ACPID] renaming eth0 to eth1
staring mandatory devices eth0__
#ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 up
SIOFLAG not found
eth0 no device found
then i run
#ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.1 up
#
It means eth1 works (why not eth0 ???????)
then i rebooted the machine again after 2 hrs
Suse dmesg has shown me this time same error as well eth0 and eth1
device not found.
[ACPID] 1 rule loaded
renaming eth1 to eth2
#ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.1 up
no device found eth1
#ifconfig eth2 192.168.0.1 up
#
This time eth2 works neither eth0,eth1 ???????!!!!!!!!!!
It means on every reboot it changes my network card configuration name
and device entry .
Hope i explain well Plz help what mistake i did and any modifications i
need to carry out .
Is it kind of BUG
Now "forcedeth" driver is working at least but eth<number> increments
every time .
