System:
Mainboard MSI nForce K7N415 Pro
OS SUSE 8.2
updated kernel k_athlon-2.4.20-100 and kernel-source-2.4.20.SuSE-100
I compiled forcedeth 0.18 as external module by "make" using the makefile
---------
KERNELDIR = /usr/src/linux
CFLAGS = -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -I$(KERNELDIR)/include -O
all: forcedeth.o
---------
forcedeth.o is replacing nvnet.o and working so far without any problem. The
only output I get in my /var/log/messages is:
---------
Nov 20 08:22:52 linux kernel: forcedeth.c: Reverse Engineered nForce ethernet
driver. Version 0.18.
Nov 20 08:22:52 linux kernel: PCI: Setting latency timer of device 00:04.0 to
64
Nov 20 08:22:52 linux kernel: eth0: forcedeth.c: subsystem: 01462:373c
---------
Is it possible to publish forcedeth.c in future releases as I prefer compiling
as an external module to patching the sources?
Anyway - thank's a lot for the great driver, hopefully Nvidia will think about
their non-disclosure policy now.
