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
