Hi,
I'm running SuSE Linux 6.1 with a Linksys LNE100TX (Lite-On PNIC-II,
Wake-On-LAN Compatible) NIC with tulip. Despite my best attempts, I
have not been able to get the card to work on Linux (it works fine under
my Win98 partition, but who cares?). I seem to have a PCI conflict
(judging by enclosed diagnostics), but I can't figure out how to fix it.
Following advice found in this list's archives, I tried the tulip driver
that came on disk two with my Linksys box, plus I tried tulip 0.91 and
0.91g. They each ran fine as a module without error messages in
/var/log/messages. I also set my AWARD BIOS to "PNP OS Installed: No".
All to no avail.
A crucial piece of the puzzle (to me) can be seen in the output provided
when I issue the command "tulip-diag -p 67", in particular:
PCI bus error!: Unknown 5.
What does "Unknown 5" mean? I'm really not sure where to start with
that.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. I've read a lot, learned
a lot, tried a lot, but still no success.
Thank you in advance!
Jay
