Description Douglas Peter Sculley 2003-08-22 12:50:55 UTC
Verified on gentoo-basic-1.4-20030806

Intel Corp. 82801BA/BAM/CA/CAM Ethernet Controller (rev 3) built in nic on
Toshiba  Satellite 2805-S402

Both Intel drivers (eepro100 and e100) are compiled as modules and competeing
for resources on hotplug initialization, causeing hotplug to stall and the
"default" boot process to fail (gentoo nohotplug boots normal however and either
modules load just fine)

Suggest putting one driver (possibly eepro100) in /etc/hotplug/blacklist or
inclueding only one driver module for that card so that this issue can be
resolved and hotplug runs normaly.

Thank you.

Both modules should be able to successfully load.  Only one will actually 
bind to the device.

No hotplug process should stall.

If so, please test against the latest hotplug package and if it still happens
please reopen the bug.
