I am having some issues with the forcedeth driver.

jim@keelie $ modinfo forcedeth

My system is an Athlon XP 2800+, on an MSI K7N2 Delta Mobo based on the 
NForce 2 chipset.  I have a dual boot with WinXP and Fedora Core 2 and 
spend 99% of my time in FC2.  Once in a while I shut the system down. 
When I boot from a cold boot right into FC2, the forcedeth driver 
appears not to work.  I am not able to get to the net over my cable 
mode.  Bringing eth0 up and down, unplugging the network cable does 
nothing.  However, if I reboot into WinXP, and then reboot right away 
back into FC2, the forcedeth driver works like a champ.

Is there anything I can do to look into what might be causing this 
issue?  Any more information I may be able to send to help?

Thanks for any help,

Running FC4 on a PC equipped with NForce2 chipset and AMD k7 (Athlon XP
2200) 
The eth interface can't be normally configured at boot and fails.
The problem comes from forcedeth. The system asks me to have a look into
dmesg, where I find a line that reads a follows: forcedeth : Unknown
parameter "irq"
The next line in /var/log/dmesg shows the version number.
Is it possible to correct the code and what are the necessary steps to
get a functional module?
If you answer my question, please be as complete as possible, I am a new
user of FC4.
Thank in advance
Regards
Jacques de Krahe

Working fine here on a sudhian shuttle - nforce2. I obtained the driver via 
the mm2 patch. A way of tuning off the debug output would be nice.

Good job all round,

Richard

  * With MTU 1500, 'ping -s $SIZE anotherhost' doesn' t work for $SIZE >= 1472,
up to 1471 works. With MTU <= 1499 everything seems ok.

  * modprobe -r forcedeth segfaults/oopses.

  Here's what I got in kern.log (using 2.6.0-test9 + Nick Piggin's scheduler v17a,
forcedeth 0.14 from akpm's patches (debug disabled, sorry)):
