[vortex] 3c905 [Boomerang] Problems

[Michael G. Droettboom]

I have a 3c905 Boomerang NIC integrated in a Dell Dual Pentium-II
workstation.  I am running Debian 2.1 with kernel 2.2.15.

All was working fine, until I arrived this morning and things are strange.

When booting into NT, everything works fine.  The card and the network
connection are intact.

However, in Linux, I am unable to reach the network, where I was
yesterday.

The output of ifconfig is normal.


The output of route is: ---

Destination	Gateway	Genmask		Flags	Metric	Ref	Use	Iface

<hangs>


The output of cat /proc/interrupts is: ---

14:	2326	XT-PIC	aic7xxx, eth0


The Boomerang is obviously sharing an IRQ with the SCSI controller, but
this wasn't a problem yesterday...  should this be a problem, and if so,
how do I fix it?

Thanks in advance!
