[Bug 45257] forcedeth not working after dapper upgrade

[Johan Dahlin]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.15-22-k7

I have a box which uses a nForce2 ethernet controller:

0000:00:04.0 Ethernet controller: nVidia Corporation nForce2 Ethernet Controller (rev a1)
        Subsystem: Asustek Computer, Inc. A7N8X Mainboard onboard nForce2 Ethernet
        Flags: bus master, 66MHz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 22
        Memory at e9000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
        I/O ports at e000 [size=8]
        Capabilities: <available only to root>

It boots up fine using 2.6.12-10 on breezy, but after upgrading to
2.6.15-21 it will no longer detect the device.

It's on a diskless/nfsroot setup, the initrd image is transfered over
the wire, but the kernel fails to find the device so the nfs root cannot
be mounted.

** Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed
