Hello,

the tulip driver does not work on my Compaq Presario 17Xl470.
The reason could be a hardwired NIC on IRQ7.

After network startup i get the message ".... pcwsr7 kernel: spurious =
8259A interrupt: IRQ7.

output of /proc/interrupt:

...
5:        0        XT-PIC        usb-uhci
8:        2        XT-PIC        rtc
9:        2        XT-PIC        i82365, eth0
...
(Interrupt 7 is unused)

ifconfig output:
...
interrupt: 9  Base address: 0x1400.

I tried "options tulip irq=3D7" in /etc/modules.conf, but the tulip =
interrupt is allways 9.
Is it possible to change the interrupt via options?

How can i change the tulip source to test interrupt 7 for the tulip =
driver?

Best regards
Wolfgang Stuehlmeyer
