I'm trying to get both a 3Com (ISA) and LinkSys (PCI) card working.
Thanks to the previous responses, I upgraded to v0.89 of tulip.c
and have the LinkSys card working. Each card works independently
but the 3Com card is inactive with the LinkSys card inserted.
>From dmesg:
tulip.c:v0.89K 8/8/98 becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov
eth0: Lite-On 82c168 PNIC at 0xe800, 00 a0 cc 24 33 86, IRQ 10.
eth0: Checking for MII transceivers...
eth0: MII transceiver found at MDIO address 1, config 3100 status 7829.
eth0: Advertising 01e1 on PHY 1, previously advertising 01e1.
eth1: 3c509 at 0x300 tag 1, 10baseT port, address 00 a0 24 2f 1c 5d, IRQ 10.
3c509.c:1.16 2/3/98 becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov

eth0: The transmitter stopped! CSR5 is 2678016, CSR6 816e2002.
eth0: Changing PNIC configuration to half-duplex, CSR6 816e0000.
Ethernet entries from "ifconfig -a":

Since grabbing the latest tulip.c driver sufficed to get the LinkSys
card working I tried the latest 3c509.c. Now dmesg reports the
following information on the card and driver:
3c509 activated at 0x000 tag 1, 10baseT port, address eth1: 3c509 at
0x300, 10baseT port, address 00 a0 24 2f 1c 5d, IRQ 10.
3c509.c:1.17 2/27/98 becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov
But still no network access:
archimedes# ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.1
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable
