Description Joop Boonen 2005-11-28 14:36:07 UTC 
I don't get above mentioned driver to work with forcedeth when i install nvnet i.e. NFORCE-Linux-x86_64-1.0-0310-pkg1.run it works. With ethtool everything looks fine. With tcpdump i only see traffic from the interfacecard not to the ethernetcard. May be physical layer connection error.
Comment 1 Lars Marowsky-Bree 2005-11-29 12:27:51 UTC 
Please supply logfiles. Where did you get that NFORCE package from?
Comment 2 Joop Boonen 2005-11-29 19:10:48 UTC 
I got the nforce driver from: 
http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_nforce_amd64_1.0-0310.html
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nforce/1.0-0310/NFORCE-Linux-x86_64-1.0-0310-pkg1.run

Which log files do you exactly need? I'll supply the Yast log files first.

I presume that you need this file. If not please let me know.
Comment 4 Olaf Kirch 2005-12-02 10:00:26 UTC 
Sorry, we cannot support third party drivers. Please contact nvidia about
this issue.
Comment 5 Joop Boonen 2005-12-02 12:22:57 UTC 
forcedeth isn't a third party driver. This is the one that isn't working. 

The one provided by Nvidia is working without a problem.
Comment 6 Olaf Kirch 2005-12-02 14:44:21 UTC 
Oops, sorry. Your initial comment starts with "I don't get above mentioned driver to work with forcedeth when i install nvnet
i.e. NFORCE-Linux-x86_64-1.0-0310-pkg1.run..." Some punctuation may have
avoided confusion :)

Carl-Daniel, any idea?
Comment 7 Joop Boonen 2006-01-05 10:09:56 UTC 
I also tested on Opensuse 10.1 alpha 4 i have the same problem with it, even though the forcedeth driver has a higher version.
Comment 8 Joop Boonen 2006-01-23 19:38:09 UTC 
It looks like forcedeth 0.49 is ok.
Comment 9 Joop Boonen 2006-01-23 19:38:42 UTC 
It looks like forcedeth 0.49 is ok. As in beta 1.
Comment 10 Joop Boonen 2006-01-24 19:55:56 UTC 
forcedeth works with 10.1 beta 1 (forcedeth 0.49)

mass reopening all SuSE Linux bugs that are set to REMIND+LATER to change the resolution to WONTFIX (adapting to new policy)

Comment 14 Stephan Kulow 2008-06-25 09:53:07 UTC 
Closing old LATER+REMIND bugs as WONTFIX - if you still plan to work on it, feel free to reopen and set to ASSIGNED.

In case the report saw repeated reopen comments, it's due to bugzilla timing out on the huge request ;(
Comment 15 Joop Boonen 2008-06-25 10:21:40 UTC 
This bug was fixed. Is not a won't fix issue! 

The driver is OK since openSuSE 10.1 Beta 1 See #10.
