3C905B

[Wayne Pascoe]

Hi all...
I'm still trying to get this 3C905B to work... Here's what I've done so
far...

I've extracted my kernel source (2.0.35) to /usr/src/linux
I've then copied a new 3c59x.c to /usr/src/linux/drivers/net... As far as I
can tell it's version 0.99F
I've then compiled my kernel with 3COM Vortex / Boomerang support as a
module...
I've then rebooted the machine .... Here is the output of an ifconfig :

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Bcast:127.255.255.255  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:3584  Metric:1
          RX packets:36 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:36 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 coll:0

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:A0:24:58:55:60
          inet addr:192.168.0.1  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 coll:0
          Interrupt:9 Base address:0x6500

This is the output of an lsmod:

So it looks like the card is loading and everything appears fine, but I
can't ping any machines on my lan... The card works fine under windows...
I've tried booting into windows and just soft-rebooting to linux. I've also
tried power off and straight to linux... None of this has given me any
clues...

I'd really appreciate any help!
