Re: Intel 82566DC-2 problem

What is in /etc/modprobe.conf?

The modprobe.conf on the computer in question hasn't been altered
manually, and looks like modprobe.conf on other Fedora 7 computers I
have.


The reason I asked is it seems to contain sound and Ethernet information for my computer. Since no Ethernet, something might be missing from the file.

Truthfully, I always use neat (System-config-network) to configure the devices and do not manually add info to modprobe.conf - Most of the time the program finds the device without error.

If I recall discussions from the experts regarding modprobe.conf, it is for kernel modules which are contained in the initrd image. You can also regenerate the modprobe.conf by deleting some file and getting hardware detection to regenerate the modprobe.conf. I did not try this so I only know this exists.


I have the below in mine for example. You would of course need
parameters specific to your machine.
Added from previous omission: (forgot to paste it in the message.

cat /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 natsemi
alias scsi_hostadapter pata_ali
alias eth1 airo_cs
alias snd-card-0 snd-ali5451
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-ali5451 index=0



Bad answer on my part. More curious than knowledgeable with this type of
problem.

At this point, everything is helpful.

I have 5 workstations, all purchased within three months of each
other. All are the same model and the same specs were used to
purchase them. The 3 older ones have 82566DM as their network
(according to lspci). The 2 newest ones have 82566DC-2 according to
lspci. DM works great, DC-2 not at all. And I just can't figure out
what to try next.

From a google search might be helpful.

Regarding your module building efforts, I have no idea unless the source from the Intel site is older than Fedora uses.
