      hi again.

I found the info somewhere on the web.. I don't remember where:

kernel_version=`hostname`
pcimap=/lib/modules/$kernel_version/modules.pcimap
alldev=$(lspci -n| sed -e 's/^.*:[[:blank:]]\+\([^[:blank:]]\+\).*$/\1/')

if [ -n "$alldev" -a -r $pcimap ]
then
  for i in $alldev
        do
    vendor="$(echo $i| cut -d':' -f1)"
    device="$(echo $i| cut -d':' -f2)"
    all_modules=`grep "0x0000$vendor[[:blank:]]\+0x0000$device" $pcimap \
        |awk '{ print $1 }'|sort -u`
    for module in $all_modules
        do
        find /lib/modules/$kernel_version/kernel/drivers/net/ -name \
        "$module.o"|grep $module > /dev/null
        if [ $? = 0 ]
                then
                echo $module
        fi
    done
  done
fi

 This should give you what you are looking for.

Regards,
Damien.

BTW, do you know how to identify the module name
used by a network interface?

Two type network adapters problem

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Hi,<br>> <br>> I encounter
a problem when I use autoyast to<br>> install a
machine with two type network adapters.<br>> <br>>
The target machine have two types of network<br>>
adapter. Since the number of network adapters
is<br>> not fixed,  I can not tell autoyast xml
file how<br>> many network interface should be
configured. I<br>> write a post-install script to
config the network<br>> adapter used for network
install. What I do is 1)<br>> add alias to
modules.conf 2) add ifcfg-eth? files.<br>> <br>>
The way can work in most of cases. But in
follow<br>> case, it fail --<br>> during
installation, autoyast find three interface<br>>
eth0  3c59x<br>> eth1  3c59x<br>> eth2  e100   --
It is for network install.<br>> <br>> My script
will add "alias eth2 e100" to<br>>
modules.conf.<br>> <br>> When the system reboot,
it can not bring up e100<br>> network adapter.  I
can make it work by change<br>> "eth2" to eth0 .
It seems that kernel think e100<br>> is "eth0"
because 3c59x was not loaded.<br>> <br>> Since
network type and network adapter number is<br>>
not fixed, i can not make my script to config
all<br>> found network adapters. Does autoyast xml
can<br>> probe all found network adapter and
make<br>> configuration for all of them? If so,
what shall<br>> we do?<br>> <br>> <br>> --<br>>
