for some reason, ehea was loaded.
There is a modalias file, but the content is bogus: cat /sys/devices/ibmebus/23c00100.lhea/modalias of:NlheaT<NULL>CIBM,lhea
It's what P firmware gives us. The main device /proc/device-tree/lhea* doesn't have a device_type property, which explains the <NULL>.
I guess all we need is a MODALIAS() or MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() entry in ehea_main.c
Would that fix more than a not-loading ehea.ko? As you observed earlier, ehea is already being loaded automatically. (In reply to comment #18)
------- Comment From olh@novell.com 2008-06-23 07:14:35 MDT------- And the other thing you noted is linuxrc, '*** No network device found' Its connected to the incomplete sysfs content.
What do you mean by "incomplete"? The modalias telling the system to load ehea.ko is there from the start, and ehea.ko is loaded correctly. Loading ehea.ko should cause the portX links to appear beneath /sys/bus/ibmebus/devices, and those should have proper modaliases to appear like ethernet adapters. What information are you missing in sysfs?
