Dear Tulip List Members,
I am hoping that someone can help me with the following:
I have a Lynksys LNE 100 TX Fast Ethernet Adaptor (Version 2 with
WakeUp-On-Line feature) on my PC, an HP 6640C, which has a
AMD K6-2/500MHz 3DNow Processor. I have set it up as a Dual Boot,
Windows98 or Linux, Red Hat 6.2.
As a Windows Machine, there is no problem, and it talks well with my
other machine, an old Pentium 166 with Windows95.
When it boots as Linux Machine, the Red Hat 6.2 recognises the Network Card, uses tulip.c for it, and correctly sets the I/O 1400-14ff. But it does not work. When I do the ifconfig command, it says:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource Temporary Unavailable.
It did not make much sense to try route, but I did and it also said:
SIOCADDRT: Network is down.
My question is, what to do now? I will be very grateful for any answer.
I read as much as I could understand on the problem, and also checked my system. Below is more information that I found useful, on the IRQs and in the /var/log/messages. Thanks very much for the help.
Poly. Please read on...
In /var/log/messages, I found the following suspicious lines:
The PCI BIOS has not enabled the device at 0/96
updating PCI Command 0083 to 0087
