Re: 3Com PCI 3c905C Tornado with later kernels

[Steven Spence]

I believe it has somethin to do with RH scripts.  I just upgraded to 7.2 
and I got
the same crap.  I have the 3c982.  It didn't seem to affect much besides 
not loading
my eth0 correctly, but I just fixed that with ifconfig.

List,

I am having a problem with a 3c905C and later kernels (2.4.9, 2.4.12 and
2.4.13).  When I try to use my 3c905C with these kernels I get this error
message:

Cannot open netlink socket: Address family not supported by protocol

Kernel 2.4.7 works fine with this nic tho. I also tried this on another
machine with the same results.

Any suggestions?

thank you,
