I still can't get my SMC9432BTX to work under linux.
I had four replies to my original message
1) Chuck Hartley suggested I just restart the network from the command prompt:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart
My slackware distribution does not have the start-up script and the
network start-up scripts I do have do not have a restart option. I tried
creating a script file with
cd /lib/modules/2.2.6
ifconfig eth0 down
rmmod epic100
insmod epic100 debug=6
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.47
I ran this and it did not make the card work.
2) Anthony Schlemmer suggested trying the test 1.07 version which allows you
to specify the media type. I tried this specifing each media type (even
AUI which the card doesn't have and BNC which I'm not using). None of them
worked.
With this version I did notice
a) for media type 3 (10baseT-FD) the Full duplex LED on the card came on
and the 100MB LED went off so the media type is doing something.
b) the card address reported by dmesg and ifconfig was not the same as
is reported by the DOS driver and version 1.06. Also the EEPROM
contents reported by dmesg does not start with the ethernet address

3) Martin Hoffmann sent the following

I don't understand this. I am using a module.
4) Nick Busigin reported his experiance with the card

I'm new to Linux and not yet upto changing kernels.
I also found an archived message about the SMC9432BTX
http://beowulf.gsfc.nasa.gov/listarchives/linux-epic-announce/1999/03/0000.html
I tried the change listed in the message. This also didn't make my card work.
I have also downloaded, compiled and run the diagnostic tools. For pci-config,
I used Device #4 as the DOS driver reports slot 16. Have I used the correct
device ? These tools do not consistently return the same values. I attach two
sets of results. One where negotiation did not complete and one where it
did complete.
Any other suggestions anyone ?
