           Summary: forcedeth prevent to configure NIC with nvnet driver
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: amd64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: kernel-package
        AssignedTo: ben.collins at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: kog at wp.pl
         QAContact: kernel-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


I got motherboard with NForce3 chip, I know that forcedeth driver is buggy,
So I recompiled Nvidia kernel module nvnet, but I have simmilar problem like here
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=86125

It means it is loading forcedeth driver at boot up, and the network configuration
need to be restarted manualy (with the unloaded forcedeth module of course)
ar fixed by scripts from the links. It sees like initrd.img should be fixed or
something,
I'm not familiar with this.

I got some time to kill to configure this problem but if the problem with forcedeth
module was fixed in new kernels the download image for installation CD should be
updated
too.

(I hope I choose good package: kernel-package)
