Noting the sfc dependency list: $ modinfo sfc | grep "depends" depends: mtd,mdio,ptp,i2c-algo-bit
I've done some test builds for Wily, Vivid, and Trusty and can confirm the sfc dependencies are indeed also included in the udeb (and specifically mtd is included): Wily: $ dpkg -c nic-modules-4.2.0-4-generic-di_4.2.0-4.4_amd64.udeb | grep -E "sfc.ko|mtd.ko|mdio.ko|ptp.ko|pps_core.ko|i2c-algo-bit.ko" -rw-r--r-- root/root 14145 2015-08-10 15:22 ./lib/modules/4.2.0-4-generic/kernel/drivers/i2c/algos/i2c-algo-bit.ko -rw-r--r-- root/root 91913 2015-08-10 15:22 ./lib/modules/4.2.0-4-generic/kernel/drivers/mtd/mtd.ko -rw-r--r-- root/root 495281 2015-08-10 15:22 ./lib/modules/4.2.0-4-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/sfc.ko -rw-r--r-- root/root 8977 2015-08-10 15:22 ./lib/modules/4.2.0-4-generic/kernel/drivers/net/mdio.ko -rw-r--r-- root/root 29673 2015-08-10 15:22 ./lib/modules/4.2.0-4-generic/kernel/drivers/pps/pps_core.ko -rw-r--r-- root/root 29761 2015-08-10 15:22 ./lib/modules/4.2.0-4-generic/kernel/drivers/ptp/ptp.ko Vivid: $ dpkg -c nic-modules-3.19.0-26-generic-di_3.19.0-26.27_amd64.udeb | grep -E "sfc.ko|mtd.ko|mdio.ko|ptp.ko|pps_core.ko|i2c-algo-bit.ko" -rw-r--r-- root/root 13956 2015-08-10 16:07 ./lib/modules/3.19.0-26-generic/kernel/drivers/i2c/algos/i2c-algo-bit.ko -rw-r--r-- root/root 96852 2015-08-10 16:07 ./lib/modules/3.19.0-26-generic/kernel/drivers/mtd/mtd.ko -rw-r--r-- root/root 464452 2015-08-10 16:07 ./lib/modules/3.19.0-26-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/sfc.ko -rw-r--r-- root/root 8812 2015-08-10 16:07 ./lib/modules/3.19.0-26-generic/kernel/drivers/net/mdio.ko -rw-r--r-- root/root 30500 2015-08-10 16:07 ./lib/modules/3.19.0-26-generic/kernel/drivers/pps/pps_core.ko -rw-r--r-- root/root 29796 2015-08-10 16:07 ./lib/modules/3.19.0-26-generic/kernel/drivers/ptp/ptp.ko Trusty: $ dpkg -c nic-modules-3.13.0-62-generic-di_3.13.0-62.101_amd64.udeb | grep -E "sfc.ko|mtd.ko|mdio.ko|ptp.ko|pps_core.ko|i2c-algo-bit.ko" -rw-r--r-- root/root 13740 2015-08-10 16:39 ./lib/modules/3.13.0-62-generic/kernel/drivers/i2c/algos/i2c-algo-bit.ko -rw-r--r-- root/root 94092 2015-08-10 16:39 ./lib/modules/3.13.0-62-generic/kernel/drivers/mtd/mtd.ko -rw-r--r-- root/root 436284 2015-08-10 16:39 ./lib/modules/3.13.0-62-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/sfc.ko -rw-r--r-- root/root 9644 2015-08-10 16:39 ./lib/modules/3.13.0-62-generic/kernel/drivers/net/mdio.ko -rw-r--r-- root/root 30684 2015-08-10 16:39 ./lib/modules/3.13.0-62-generic/kernel/drivers/pps/pps_core.ko -rw-r--r-- root/root 24924 2015-08-10 16:39 ./lib/modules/3.13.0-62-generic/kernel/drivers/ptp/ptp.ko -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1481490 Title: Add sfc to nic-modules udeb Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Trusty: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Vivid: Fix Committed Bug description: == [Trusty][Vivid]SRU Justification == It is being requested that we add the sfc driver to the nic-modules udeb to facilitate PXE booting nodes with Solarflare network adapters. == Fix == Add the sfc driver to our nic-modules udeb.
