OK,,
Had a few replies on this and have finally got an
Adaptec ANA6911A/TX Combo card working on both
media ports...
The diff to apply to tulip.c-089K is,,,,
31c31
< static int options[MAX_UNITS] = {11, };
---
> static int options[MAX_UNITS] = {0, };
310c310
< HAS_MII | HAS_MEDIA_TABLE | ALWAYS_CHECK_MII | HAS_ACPI, tulip_timer },
---
> HAS_MII | HAS_MEDIA_TABLE | ALWAYS_CHECK_MII | HAS_ACPI, t21142_timer },
733d732
< outl(inl(ioaddr+CSR15) & ~(0x800037c0),ioaddr+CSR15);
And this works for me. Refer to my original post for configuration
of my system(s).
NOW,,
To complete my story,
When Installing Debian Linux 2.0 from the Official CDs, and I
apply this driver to it I compile fine without error messages
but when I try to load the driver I get a message similar to
" This driver has been compiled for version 2.0.33 kernel
your are running kernel 2.0.34 "
Ho Hum,
looked at /usr/include/linux/version.h and sure enough 2.0.33
so I had to install the source and headers packages from the
Official CDs and make a minor link change and then recompile.
Get compile warnings but the driver with the diff above applied
works...
BUT my compile is not clean...
So I was fighting this on two fronts.
All OK for now.
Hope this information helps the devel team..
Oh Yeah,,,
I still get about a 15 second delay before any REAL
traffic can be done (IE ping >IP< via a UTP port)
immediately after reboot, I connect via UTP to
a BAY networks Accelar1200 Layer 3 switch...
Whereas a 10base2 link works immediately upon reboot.
I am putting this down to negotiation dialog between the BAY
and Adaptec/tulip driver....
