Subject: pmac netdevice driver probing bugs
Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2001 12:14:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010206121414.A7877@suse.de> (raw)
Hi,
the current device probing code for mace,bmac and gmac returns always 0
and the module can be loaded even if the required hardware is not
present.
cherry:~ # modprobe pcnet32
/lib/modules/2.4.1-olaf/kernel/drivers/net/pcnet32.o: init_module: No
such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.1-olaf/kernel/drivers/net/pcnet32.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.1-olaf/kernel/drivers/net/pcnet32.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.1-olaf/kernel/drivers/net/pcnet32.o: insmod pcnet32
failed
cherry:~ # modprobe bmac
cherry:~ # lsmod
Module Size Used by
bmac 12512 0 (unused)
nfsd 75888 4 (autoclean)
autofs4 11920 4 (autoclean)
ipv6 151488 -1 (autoclean)
gmac 15248 1 (autoclean)
Can we change that behaviour?
de4x5 and pcnet32 return -EIO as example and the module is not loaded.
Gruss Olaf
