Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic

The driver for the R6040 NIC is not compiled in the linux image. The driver is included in the kernel source but disabled for compilation.

The R6040 NIC is used by the VortexDX processor.

1) Ubuntu Server 10.04.1 LTS
2) 2.6.32-24.39
3) I expected the driver to be available for use after installing Ubuntu
4) I had to download kernel source on another PC and compile the kernel to obtain the driver

Hi Wimpie,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 650899

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Still not fixed in 2.6.32-27-generic-pae (Ubuntu 10.04 up to date) nor 2.6.35-24-generic (Ubuntu 10.10 up to date).
I get:
grep R6040 /boot/config-2.6.32-27-generic-pae
# CONFIG_R6040 is not set

Why the Kernel Team don't compile it as a module?

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel for Oneiric in -proposed solves the problem (3.0.0-14.23). Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-oneiric' to 'verification-done-oneiric'.

If verification is not done by one week from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
