[Devil-Linux-discuss] r8169 network driver fails to load in DL 1.2.15

[Geir I. <gei...@gm...>]

Hi.

I am trying to set up devil linux on a Intel D945GCLF motherboard
(mini itx format, atom cpu).

DL has no problem booting and configuring my second network card
(intel pci card), but fails to load the r8169 module for the on-board
RTL8101E LAN adapter.

Booting with a 2.6.25 kernel on the same motherboard, loads the
realtek driver without any problems.

output from lspci (on DL):

01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E
PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 02)


modprobe r8169 gives the following error:

/lib/modules/2.4.36.6-grsec/kernel/drivers/net/r8169.o: init_module:
No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.36.6-grsec/kernel/drivers/net/r8169.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.36.6-grsec/kernel/drivers/net/r8169.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.36.6-grsec/kernel/drivers/net/r8169.o: insmod r8169 failed

There is no record of this operation in dmesg or syslog (syslog is empty)

Please advice
