Hi,

I recently installed Mandrake 6.1 as another bootable OS on my Celeron =
based

system. I also have NT 4 and Win98 operating on the same system using =
the

installed 3c905 board.

I am unable to get the 3c905 to access the network under Mandrake. I =
have

rebuilt the kernel and tried both the original 3c59x driver as well as =
the

3com 3c90x driver both loading as modules.

The system seems to prefer the 3c59x driver as it initializes the board =
fine

and ifconfig reports eth0 as okay (using IRQ 9 ).

I currently have the option debug=3D1 set. When I attempt to ping a =
local

linux box there is no response and a message "transmit timed out =
tx_status

00 status e000" is reported.

Any help or suggestions are welcome. I'm currently considering juggling =
IRQs

used by the PCI bus as IRQ 9 is also used by another device (there were =
no

sharing complaints so I assumed they both would behave).

thanks,

Matt
