关于 Intel 82559 网卡的问题

keelort

这几天电脑加了一块 Intel 82559 的网卡，属于 e100 的驱动程序，可是Debian官方内核(2.6.29)不能正常驱动，驱动是模块形式的，重新编译内核，精简优化，把e100的网卡驱动编译进内核还是不行

dmesg显示

e100 0000:03:02.0: firmware: requesting e100/d101m_ucode.bin
[  374.700435] e100: eth1: e100_request_firmware: Failed to load firmware "e100/d101m_ucode.bin": -2

Google了一下，没几条信息，基本都是一样的

to use netconsole you probably need to set config option
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y

Hm, I wonder if we couldn't have netconsole=y select
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL in Kconfig

the arguments as to why the firmware was split out of the drivers have
already been made on this list.  Not that I agree with them, but the
decision has been made and we're (network devs) going along with it.

配置内核 CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y 重新编译，还是一样

apt-cache search e100 没有相关的东西

山穷水尽，难道这么普遍的网卡都有问题？不太可能，原来用 Gentoo 的时候没问题的

后来突然想到

apt-cache search d101m

搞定，可以使用了，原来 Debian 把 Firemware 都分开了

同样办法，搞定 Sagem XG-760N 无线网卡，安装 zd1211 的 Firmware
