Re: [Thinstation-general] Intel D945GCNL support issue

[Gromersch R. <Ren...@fn...>]

So, here is what I did :

I downloaded the source at Realtek of their r8168 driver and compiled it =
in the thinstation src environnement.  Then I copied the r8168.ko module =
to my Thinstation-2.2 environnement and edited the build.conf file in =
wich I added the new compiled module.

This is working and now all my Gigabit 8111 networking cards are =
detected.

I've attached the compiled module to this mail with a little HOWTO in it =
so you won't have to do the compiling thing.

Greetnx.

Maybe it can be used to update the Thinstation 2.2 packages at =
sourceforge ?  If someone knows how to upload it, you're comments are =
welcome.

Objet : [Thinstation-general] Intel D945GCNL support issue

Hi,
  I am having Intel Orignal D945GCNL Motherboard which is having =
RTL8111B Giga LAN chipset onboard, and i am running thinstation through =
etherboot boortom on RTL8139 external NIC, i have already disabled =
onboard NIC from the BIOS

 and built thinstation image from linux box other computers on network =
working fine with the same bootrom & thinstation image, but around 10 =
computers which i got new into my setup are halting on Configuring & =
Starting network...

 as i understand it may be problem with RTL8111B Giga  onboard LAN, in =
thinstation there is no support for such chipset, and after disabling =
from BIOS also linux kernel tries to detect drivers for the same, so =
anybody help me with this issue, if possible please send the procedure =
for adding new drivers to thinstation image, which are not currently =
supported by thinstation.

Thanks & Regards

VN
