Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Using a vanilla 2.6.0-test2 kernel with 8139too loaded as a module for eth0 (my only NIC), I get: # lsmod Module Size Used by nfsd 158048 17 exportfs 6320 1 nfsd autofs4 15408 2 nfs 147356 4 lockd 65104 3 nfsd,nfs sunrpc 126852 22 nfsd,nfs,lockd 8139too 24096 0 mii 5424 1 8139too crc32 4720 1 8139too i.e. states that 8139too is not used ... but it is!
