Sluggers,
Got me a problem trying to get a network card working in Debian.
The "hardware" is a VMware ESX virtual machine. I've installed
RH 6.2 (2.2.14) on the same "hardware" and the network is fine.
In debian (2.2.17) when I try to insmod the driver I get these
errors.
vmxnet.o: unresolved symbol init_etherdev_R4468631d
vmxnet.o: unresolved symbol eth_type_trans_R6e012c3d
vmxnet.o: unresolved symbol __kfree_skb_R461d1b3d
vmxnet.o: unresolved symbol netif_rx_R82bc91e7
vmxnet.o: unresolved symbol skb_over_panic_Rb602a3db
vmxnet.o: unresolved symbol ether_setup_R941b5739
vmxnet.o: unresolved symbol alloc_skb_Rd4215602
vmxnet.o: unresolved symbol unregister_netdev_r27198b1f
Should the same module that works in Redhat work in Debian?
Do I need to load another module first (in which case which one)?
I've tried to re-compile the module on Debian but I get thousands
of compile errors like
/usr/include/linux/fs.h:307: parse error before `uid_t'
Editing that file line 307 looks like
...
304: struct iattr {
305: unsigned int ia_valid;
306: umode_t ia_mode;
307: uid_t ia_uid;
308: gid_t ia_gid;
309: off_t ia_size;
...
Is there any hope for networking in Debian on this platform?
Many Tia's
Pete
