From deccb88480aa43d427e3d2a44a95ec2f0026d187 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marc Fiuczynski Date: Sat, 20 Jun 2009 16:39:27 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=178557 lspci says that the builtin ethernet on nVidia nForce3 chipset is a Bridge. It should be a Communications device. This specifically was a problem on planetlab2.icu.ac.kr, but there were a few others as well for which we worked around the problem by inserting a known-to-work NIC card. With this little special exception we basically treat this device as a network device and can therefore use this NIC. --- source/systeminfo.py | 10 ++++++++-- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/source/systeminfo.py b/source/systeminfo.py index 8be877f..94d9f78 100755 --- a/source/systeminfo.py +++ b/source/systeminfo.py @@ -282,11 +282,17 @@ def get_system_modules( vars = {}, log = sys.stderr): for slot in devlist: dev = pcidevs[slot] base = (dev[4] & 0xff0000) >> 16 + modules = pcimap.get(dev) if base not in (PCI_BASE_CLASS_STORAGE, PCI_BASE_CLASS_NETWORK): - continue + # special exception for forcedeth NICs whose base id + # claims to be a Bridge, even though it is clearly a + # network device + if "forcedeth" in modules: + base=PCI_BASE_CLASS_NETWORK + else: + continue - modules = pcimap.get(dev) if len(modules) > 0: if base == PCI_BASE_CLASS_NETWORK: network_mods += modules -- 2.43.0
