Compaq Netelligent 10/100 TX PCI TLAN driver missing

[Scott Hilleard]

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.20-13-generic

My network card has worked in all previous versions of Ubuntu. The TLAN driver appears to be completely missing from Feisty and as a result my PCI network does not work.

The following URL seems to suggest that the TLAN driver is still supported in the 2.6.20 kernel

http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/networking/tlan.txt

The card was working fine until I upgraded from Edgy to the Feisty beta release.
The device id for my card is ae32 and the list above shows that it is still supported by the TLAN driver.

Now that the 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon release of Ubuntu is out, we were wondering if this is still an issue. Could you please download and try the new version of Ubuntu from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download and report back your results. Thanks again and we appreciate your help and feedback.

sure, I will test it when I get home from work later :)

Sadly the tlan module is still missing and the network card does not work. Manually doing " modprobe tlan" results in this error:

FATAL: Module tlan not found.

Which clearly suggests the module has not been compiled at all :(

Hi Scott,

I took a look at the default amd64 kernel config and it does appear that the CONFIG_TLAN option is missing. However, we are literally a week or two away from the Ubuntu Hardy kernel being released. I imagine this fix will get incorporated into that release. Against both linux-source-2.6.22 and linux-source-2.6.20 this does not meet the criteria for a stable release update so I imagine this report will be marked as "Won't Fix" against those packages. You can learn more about the stable release update process at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates . Thanks again and we appreciate your help and patience.

Ok, thank you for the status report. I will keep an eye on the hardy release to see if it has the tlan module.

CONFIG_TLAN is enabled for Hardy i386-{386,generic,server}, hppa32, powerpc, and powerpc-smp
