The proble is called and my device is identified and configured. But there is some problem. There are 2 ethernet devices (including mine) 1 is Intel EEpro100 and mine (gigabit controller). When the kernel boots it recognizes my NIC and EEpro100 NIC and hangs. I am unable to figure out whats going on. There is some confusions with ehto and eth1 that I am unable to follow. > On Fri, 9 Nov 2001 16:08:06 -0800 (PST), > Gururaj Ananthateerta wrote: > >When I boot with new kernel my driver probe routine is not entered. > >Is there anyplace I need to inform the kernel about the existence > >of the new driver. > > linux/Documentation/DocBook/kernel-hacking.tmpl, __initcall and friends. > >
