I know that questions of this nature have been addressed on this mailing
list in the recent past, but none of them seem to really confront the kind
of problems I've been having.
I'm building a small-scale cluster and will be connecting four other
machines to the Quartet/400 (4 x 21140 + 21050) via crossover cable. The
problem is the machine locks up on issuing 'ifconfig' for any of the 2nd -
4th interfaces on the card. You can call "ifconfig eth0 10.1.0.1" and it
will work properly. If you call any of "ifconfig eth1 ..." to "ifconfig
eth3 ..." the machine will lock up.
The BIOS is making the IRQ assignments of 11, 9, 10, 5 for eth0 through
eth3 respectively. No APCI is compiled into the kernel. No APIC support
is compiled in. The machine also has an RTL8139C based adapter.
Here is some of the pertinent information:

I noticed that in earlier version of the driver, other people showed that
it reported each interface was part of a multiport adapter, whereas this
one does not.

I think that is all the information that you could possibly want. Has
this specifically been addressed before? All the problems I've heard of
haven't resulted in machine lockup, but rather simply no activity occuring
over the line.
Thanks,
