[Bug 646368] [NEW] smsc911x has no module alias, does not get auto-loaded on OMAP3 EVM

[Vincent Stehlé]

Public bug reported:

OMAP3 EVM with kernel 2.6.35-22-omap #33-Ubuntu has a platform device 'platform:smsc911x'.
For some reason, there is no module alias generated in modules.alias like: 'alias platform:smsc911x smsc911x'.
This results in the module smsc911x not being loaded automatically.
The ethernet interface is then not available under e.g. ifconfig -a

If the module is manually modprobe'd, the ethernet is working fine.
