Unknown device 4364 (rev 12) Software Environment:Ubuntu Feisty 7.04 Problem Description: I compiled 2.6.21 kernel after doing make oldconfig to import running kernel configuration (2.6.20.3 kernel), but when booting with new kernel the system isn't unable to see any network interface. In 2.6.20.3 kernel, my network interface works by forcedeth and sky2 modules, both changed in 2.6.21 kernel; so I think the problem is there. Steps to reproduce:
Hi, i've a motherb. with the same chipset. I compiled last kernel 2.6.21.5 - after system startup my network is ok. But if i stress the network (ftp transfer for a long time) my network spin down. At this point, i tried: ifconfig eth0 down && ifconfig eth0 ip but my network don't ping if I try to remove network module my system take me a long time.. and nothing appens. I can only reboot my system.
Have u tried with another network card? I tried 3 several network card but I've the same problem. Pol
May it be related ? http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.22.y.git;a=commit;h=108c55dda1bd750b87b5fccc9cd4658222cf2dc3
Any news on this issue? I recently upgraded from 2.6.18 to 2.5.26 and the NIC on the MCP61-based motherboard stopped working. Offboard NICs in the same machine (other chips, other drivers) works fine. After the upgrade, dmesg says: forcedeth 0000:00:07.0: ifname eth0, PHY OUI 0x732 @ 1, addr 00:1d:7d:aa:1e:dc forcedeth 0000:00:07.0: highdma pwrctl mgmt timirq lnktim msi desc-v3 Later on, eth0 is assigned to the off-board NIC: sundance.c:v1.2 11-Sep-2006 Written by Donald Becker ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [APC1] enabled at IRQ 16 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:04.0[A] -> Link [APC1] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 eth0: D-Link DFE-580TX 4 port Server Adapter at 0000000000019000, 00:0d:88:c6:22:d0, IRQ 16. eth0: MII PHY found at address 1, status 0x7829 advertising 01e1.

Old bug. Works for me.
