------=_NextPart_000_005A_01BF4ADD.539D9F90 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable 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 matthill@home.com <mailto:matthill@home.com> ------=_NextPart_000_005A_01BF4ADD.539D9F90 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN">Hi,
