[tulip] Compaq-Laptop - Connexant-NIC

[Bernhard Burgermeister]

Hello,

I have just compiled and installed the new driver on my Compaq 17XL470.

Under kernel 2.2.19 I put the tulip.c pci-scan.c pci-scan.h in
drivers/net, added the pci-scan.o to the Makefile, compiled and
installed the kernel

- it works fine! -

Thank you very much!

Since about 30 Minutes no problems found, except wrong statistics:

# ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:8B:FA:4A:48
          inet addr:172.16.3.151  Bcast:172.16.255.255  Mask:255.255.0.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          Interrupt:9 Base address:0x7000


so ifconfig claims that there has not been sent any paket succesfull,
instead only errors. But I'am writing this eMail throug an ssh-Connection
on the Compaq-Laptop!

Here's the output of dmesg:
