They both use the r8169 driver - looking through my dmesg output (on a recently rebooted machine) I see e.g.:
r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.2LK-NAPI loaded eth0: RTL8168c/8111c at 0xf8884000, 00:24:21:5f:1a:b0, XID 3c4000c0 IRQ 218 r8169: eth0: link up
Granted, this is openSUSE 11.0, kernel 2.6.25.5-1.1-pae so maybe your dmesg will look slightly different. If the module loads properly (like you said it did), I'm sure you'll something like the above.
As I said, there is nothing like that in dmesg. I'll try to reinstall the driver, and hope it takes this time.
Hmm, I've just tried loading that module on a machine that does not have such an interface. The module loads just fine (i.e. modprobe doesn't complain), but as it doesn't find the card, there's nothing to be seen in dmesg. We have already verified that the card is present in your machine, so why it isn't recognized by the driver, I simply don't know. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (10.7°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
