Subject: Problem = with 3c905=20 and Mandrake 6.1Hi,
I recently installed Mandrake 6.1 as another bootable OS on my = Celeron=20 based
system. I also have NT 4 and Win98 operating on the same system = using=20 the
installed 3c905 board.
I am unable to get the 3c905 to access the network under = Mandrake. I=20 have
rebuilt the kernel and tried both the original 3c59x driver as = well as=20 the
3com 3c90x driver both loading as modules.
The system seems to prefer the 3c59x driver as it initializes the = board=20 fine
and ifconfig reports eth0 as okay (using IRQ 9 ).
I currently have the option debug=3D1 set. When I attempt to ping = a=20 local
linux box there is no response and a message "transmit timed = out=20 tx_status
00 status e000" is reported.
Any help or suggestions are welcome. I'm currently considering = juggling=20 IRQs
used by the PCI bus as IRQ 9 is also used by another device = (there were=20 no
sharing complaints so I assumed they both would behave).
