Hi. I have just gotten a computer with a Super Micro c2sbe |
| 2 |
Motherboard. Now I also bought a dual port PCI Express ethernet |
| 3 |
card. Now the normal kernel driver in my 2.6.21-gentoo-r4 does not |
| 4 |
recognize the ethernet port on the motherboard, only the dual port |
| 5 |
PCI Express card. So I found an Intel driver which seemed to be a |
| 6 |
later version of the e1000 driver and installed it. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Now the strange part is that in order for the Ethernet on the mb to be |
| 9 |
recognized, I must rmmod and modprobe the module again and blacklist |
| 10 |
it from udev, although the later seemed not to do much. Does |
| 11 |
anyone know why I must do such a thing? If I don't do the rmmod and |
| 12 |
modprobe the dual port card is still recognized, but the mb one is not.. |

Thanks in advance for your help. |
