Subject: 3C59x module doesn't work in 2.6.0-test6

Hi,

I compiled 2.6.0-test6, but my ethernet card doesn't work:

modprobe 3c59x tells this:
Sep 28 10:06:58 tata kernel: 3c59x: Unknown parameter `3c509x'

Hi,

I call simply "modprobe 3c59x" as always.
In all previous kernels before 2.6.0-test6 it worked (2.4,2.2)

/etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 3c59x
options 3c59x 3c509x debug=0 options=4,8

It's generated from /etc/modules.conf in 2.4
alias eth0 3c59x
options 3c59x 3c509x debug=0 options=4,8

And looks the same

Info about card from 2.4.22:

So 3c59x complains about '3c509x' ??

Did you use any module parameters, either on the modprobe command
or in the /etc/modprobe.conf file?

Just make these
options 3c59x options=4,8

and don't forget to rerun depmod.

AFAIK the 3c59x driver recognizes no such option as '3c509x'.
