hi,
I have been having some trouble getting this quad ethernet card
to work; any help you could provide is greatly appreciated. The card
was purchased at Black Box, which is a computer + electronics supplier
here in Belgium, and the tulip card carries this shop's brand.
After reading the documentation on http://www.scyld.com/network/
and http://www.freelabs.com/~whitis/hardware/quartet.html i have
put together the information i hope will be of assistance in
helping you point me in the right direction.
I'm running (Slackware) Linux kernel 2.4.14 on a Compaq Deskpro,
and i am able to compile the drivers available on scyld.com for this
tulip card (because the ones shipped with the kernel apparently
don't work -- and they produce problems of their own).
Now, i compile tulip.c and pci-scan.c and insmod both .o files in
/etc/rc.inet1 (as specified in the documentation).
IF the Compaq bios has PCI Bus Mastering enabled, then dmesg
shows:
---

note the difference on like 3.
However, in -any- case, neither eth1, eth2, or eth3 is available.
my /etc/modules.conf includes:
alias eth0 tulip
alias eth1 tulip
alias eth2 tulip
alias eth3 tulip
the output to tulip-diag, as well as /proc/pci, /proc/interrupts, and
/proc/ioports
are available upon request, because the previous posting i made (which
included
all that information) exceeded the maximum size allowed on this list.
I have also tried to compile tulip.o with -DREVERSE_PROBE_ORDER=1 but no
luck..
Would anyone happen to know a way to get this to work?
Thanks in advance,
Vafa.
