e100 not eorking, firmware won't load

[murraytony@…]

I get this error on boot and have no network connectivity.

e100: eth0: e100_request_firmware: Failed to load firmware "e100/d101s_ucode.bin": -2

I've tried copying the firmware files from another system and put them in /lib/firmware/e100, but it still comes up with that error. Perhaps there is another thing that is preventing the firmware from being loaded.

Could you please test if this is fixed in trunk?

I'm having the same issue with 10.03 as of July/24/2010
The image I used is the one at;

Hardware: Intel ISP1100 with the following configs;
*CPU: Pentium III 750MHz
*M/B: Intel TR440BX (Chipset:440BX PCIset)
*HDD: Lexar Professional UDMA (Compact Flash - 300x, 2GB) w/ CFtoIDE adapter

Sorry for multiple posts. Should the administrator notice this post, please delete the unorganized version that I posted previously.
Thank you.

Can you confirm this issue is still present in 10.03.1-rc1 ?

Hi,

I get the same issue on 10.03.1 rc3

The hardware is an Comapq Armada E500 with an

00:09.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9 Ethernet Pro 100 [8086:1229] (rev 09)

Regards,

I have the same error on latest (r23985) Backfire sources.

The hardware is an Advantech motherboard with an dual lan intel controller (82562/82551 or 82541).

[strzol@…]

I forgot to mention that i'm getting:

"e100/d102e_ucode.bin" instead of the one mentioned on the first report.

[strzol@…]

I can confirm that this error occurs on latest trunk as well (r24006).

My devices are (as reported with lspci).

Intel Corporation 82557/8/9/0/1 Ethernet Pro 100 (rev 10)
Intel Corporation 82801DB Pro/100 VE (CNR) Ethernet Controller (rev 82)

Compiling the driver and the firmware in-kernel (with make kernel_menuconfig) works ok.

So if it is compiled as module, it seems that the firmware file is not copied (i have to check that) or for some reason not loading.

In-kernel test was made with latest backfire sources.

fixed in r26539, backported in r26628
