Package: linux-image
Version: 2,6,30-1-486
I'm trying to make an ethernet connection to an old Linux PC with a
3Com Etherlink III card 3c509B. I want full duplex so per the kernel
documentation for 3c509 I must use the 3c509 module and give it the
parameter xcvr=12 which forces full duplex. So in /etc/modules I put:
3c059 xcvr=12
But the module doesn't load per lsmod and the syslog shows:
Jan 7 15:13:28 davespc kernel: [ 40.355722] 3c509: Unknown parameter `xcvr'
I've also tried putting this xcvr option in a file I created in
/etc/modprobe.d with the same result.
Is this a bug in the software or documentation?
