I'd like to report a bug I encountered, but I am not
sure if it is vortex specific...
The equipment:
- PC hardware
- 3com PCI card 3c905C
- 3com ISA card 3c509B
- Linux kernel 2.2.17 or 2.2.19 with both drivers compiled in
If there is only one card physically installed (either ISA or PCI),
everything is fine, but if I install both cards, only one card
gets recognized and initialized on startup (no eth1)
I found a workaround: when I compile both drivers as modules,
the problem disappears and everything works as expected. That's
why I assume this is not a hardware problem.
Thanks,
Vlado
