That didn't look like the last 20-30 lines, but like some of the first - there was no mention of the module being loaded.
Nevertheless, those were the last lines in the output, as you can see from noting the command prompt at the end. The first lines look entirely different.
And I can verify that the string "r8" occurs only once in the file, in an entirely different connection. Neither does "eth0".
I have justed checked a couple of my production machines which also use the R816X chip:
06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 02)
That is the controller that is in this machine.
00:0d.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)
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. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
