Hello, I had noticed that there are machines where if I ran cat /proc/iomem I see one I/O memory region for the NIC I am using; while there are other machines where I see 2 regions for the NIC I/O memory.
For example, on a machine with e1000 NIC adapter, I see the following 2 I/O memory regions for the NIC: fc9a0000-fc9bffff : 0000:03:04.0 fc9a0000-fc9bffff : e1000 fc9c0000-fc9dffff : 0000:03:03.0 fc9c0000-fc9dffff : e1000 while on a machine with realtek 8139too NIC I see only one region: ec103000-ec1030ff : 0000:00:0a.0 ec103000-ec1030ff : 8139too But when looking at the code of both NICs, there is only one call to pci_request_regions(), which seems quite similiar in both cases and is called only once; see the call to pci_request_regions() in drivers/net/e1000/e1000_main.c and in drivers/net/8139too.c. Any idea why is this so ? can anybody say 3-4 sentences about this ?
