From DJLawler@aol.com Sat, 7 Oct 2000 11:23:00 EDT Date: Sat, 7 Oct 2000 11:23:00 EDT From: DJLawler@aol.com DJLawler@aol.com Subject: [3c509] Problem with 3c555 / Micron laptop I have a Micron (Transport NX) with a base station that includes a built in network card (a mini-pci 3c555). I have loaded Redhat 6.2 on the machine with no problems except for the networking. With the scyld drivers downloaded and installed, the 3c59x module loads without complaining and I am able to ping to and from the machine. However, when I try any 'real' service - ftp, http, telnet, I am unable to get anything to work to or from the machine. Here is the dmesg output on boot up: 3c59x.c:v0.99Ra 8/7/2000 Donald Becker, becker@scyld.com http://www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html eth0: 3Com 3c555 Laptop Hurricane at 0xd000, ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, IRQ 11 8K byte-wide RAM 5:3 Rx:Tx split, MII interface. MII transceiver found at address 0, status 782d. Enabling bus-master transmits and early receives. I think that the ff:ff:ff... address is a problem. scyld's web site even mentions this in passing on one page but I have tried the suggestions listed (cold boot into linux, turn off plug & play bios support - not a option with the Micron's bios). Help?!

I've already fixed the issue of IRQ conflict by assigning it irq=9 than what was previously set to irq=10. IRQ 10 is used by old_tulip module on eth0. This card is surely working under windows NT, so I know this is not the issue with the card itself. I attached the various info for this. Thanks in advance!

Adapter Failure indication. A potential 3c5*9 has been found, but it appears to still be active. Only limited information is available without disturbing network operation. Either shutdown the network, or use the '-f' flag to see all registers. Available Tx room 3068 bytes, Tx/Rx Status 0080 / 0000. This network adapter has unhandled interrupts! This should never occur with properly configured adapter. You may have a hardware interrupt conflict. Check /proc/interrupts to verify that the interrupt is properly registered, and that the count is increasing. This problem is frequently solved by moving the adapter to different IRQ. For ISA cards, verify that the BIOS setup has assigned the IRQ line to ISA bus. For PCMCIA cards, change the configuration file, typically named /etc/pcmcia/config.opts, to use a different IRQ. ----------------- cat /proc/interrupts ----------- CPU0 0: 2825057 XT-PIC timer 1: 30325 XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 7: 1 XT-PIC soundblaster 8: 1 XT-PIC rtc 9: 0 XT-PIC eth1 10: 45804 XT-PIC eth0 12: 254676 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse 13: 1 XT-PIC fpu 14: 611469 XT-PIC ide0 15: 243356 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 ----------------- cat /proc/ioports ----------- 0000-001f : dma1 0020-003f : pic1 0040-005f : timer 0060-006f : keyboard 0070-007f : rtc 0080-008f : dma page reg 00a0-00bf : pic2 00c0-00df : dma2 00f0-00ff : fpu 0170-0177 : ide1 01f0-01f7 : ide0 0240-024f : soundblaster 02f8-02ff : serial(auto) 0300-030f : 3c509 0376-0376 : ide1 0388-038b : Yamaha OPL3 03c0-03df : vga+ 03e8-03ef : serial(auto) 03f6-03f6 : ide0 03f8-03ff : serial(auto) f880-f8ff : eth0 ffa0-ffa7 : ide0 ffa8-ffaf : ide1 ----------------- cat /proc/pci ----------- PCI devices found: Bus 0, device 0, function 0: Host bridge: Intel 82441FX Natoma (rev 2).
