HI,

I am trying to untangle the latest destruction udev has done to my system by undoing my specific udev rules for onboard eth controllers. They now fail to match my own udev rules to give them static device names and have started floating around eth0 , eth1 etc. again.

I have one forcedeth , one e100 and one 3con vortex card.

The first two are clearly labeled in the kernel config as "this module will be named ...". Nice and clear. The latter one is not named. Digging in the kernel source shows it should be named VORTEX.

Clearly this is not the case since no such module exists.

How can I find the name of this driver and why the hell isn't it clearly documented ?

TIA, Gentree. 8)

Hi, you should try my twist :P

Code:

sylvain@gentootux ~ $ find /usr/src/linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r6 -name Makefile | xargs grep -i vortex
/usr/src/linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r6/drivers/net/Makefile:obj-$(CONFIG_VORTEX) += 3c59x.o
