Hi.
<p> I have bought some MB-3792G. This has three network
adapter cards on board:
<p>two dual 10/100 MB ethernet and one Giga bit ethernet.
<p>I have installed the linux kernel 2.4.18, the drivers for the two dual
10/100 MB ethernet cards work fine, but
<p>the driver for the dp83820 giga ethernet from national semiconductors,
doesn't work. I read a faq that I found
<p>on the internet and visited some internet sites, but the problem still
remains.
<p> I have tested the drivers from scyld.org, cdrom drivers
that shipped with the motherboard and the driver
<p>recognized by the 2.4.18 linux kernel.
<p> I have a dp83820 d-link. When compiling the kernel 2.4.18
with the support of the dp83820, it works very fine.
<p> When loading the module ns820.o (scyld.org driver)
I get these messages:
<p>Using /lib/modules/2.4.2-2/kernel/drivers/net/ns820
<p>This is the message I get when i run the lsmod
