[tulip-bug] Tulip drivers update to

Sat, 28 Jul 2001 01:47:30 +0200

Hello !
I use a 2.2.17 kernel and I tried to upgrade my tulip driver using the
folowing method:

# Transfer the Scyld PCI Netdriver package
#  Perhaps use ncftpget
ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/netdriver-2.1.src.rpm
rpm -i ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/netdriver-2.1.src.rpm
# Build the binary version for your kernel
cd /usr/src/{redhat,TurboLinux,packages}/
rpm -bb SPECS/netdriver*.spec
# Now install it your newly built package.
rpm -i --force RPMS/i386/netdriver-2.1-*.i386.rpm

Note: it is now netdrivers-2.1.6-1.i586.rpm I downloaded.

I rebooted my box and i saw during Init phase that my network card wasnt up.
Ifconfig list only Lo interface.

I ran depmod -env on both pci-scan.o and tulip.o modules:
( the depmod -a list the all the modules of the package with the same
dependency error)

Here are the result:

depmod -env pci-scan.o

I discover in the module.dep file that tulip.o depended of pci-scan.o but
pci-scan.o depends of nothing else it seems.
So I dont understant why the tulip.o module still have dependency problems.

The pci-scan.o was of course in the same package
(netdrivers-2.1.6-1.i586.rpm) that the tulip.o modules.

Any idea of the way to correct the dependencies ?

Thanks
