Well, when I was using 2.6.5 dev-sources my nforce2 onboard nic worked flawlessly using forcedeth. Because of security flaws in 2.6.5 I need to upgrade to 2.6.7, but when I build 2.6.7 with the reverse engineered forcedeth module, it seems that the nic just never really initializes correctly. It won't even connect to local machines. I did an lsmod to see if HotPlug was detecting it, and it was loaded. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge gentoo-dev-sources 2. genkernel --menuconfig all (select 'Reverse engineered nforce2 eth') 3. Add to grub, reboot Actual Results: forcedeth quit working Expected Results: worked
As there are no forcedeth patches in the 2.6.7 gentoo-dev-sources package, this is a upstream bug. Please go open a problem at bugzilla.kernel.org for this. (it might be due to acpi routing issues, look up that...)
This is a kernel bug! http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2846 As you can see this bug has been solved at least in bk14. Would the kernel gentoo-dev-sources maintainer please add this patch. THX Kai
Um, where is the patch? I can't just apply the whole -bk14 patchset :)
