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