[vortex] Mini-pci 3c555

[DJLawler@aol.com]

Sorry, posted this on the wrong mailing list......

I have a Micron (Transport NX) with a base station that includes a built in 
network card (a mini-pci 3c555).  I have loaded Redhat 6.2 on the machine 
with no problems except for the networking.  With the scyld drivers 
downloaded and installed, the 3c59x module loads without complaining and I am 
able to ping to and from the machine.  However, when I try any 'real' service 
- ftp, http, telnet, I am unable to get anything to work to or from the 
machine.  Here is the dmesg output on boot up:

3c59x.c:v0.99Ra 8/7/2000 Donald Becker, <A HREF="mailto:becker@scyld.com">
becker@scyld.com</A>  eth0: 3Com 3c555 Laptop Hurricane at 0xd000,  
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, IRQ 11   8K byte-wide RAM 5:3 Rx:Tx split, MII interface.  
MII transceiver found at address 0, status 782d.  Enabling bus-master 
transmits and early receives.

I think that the ff:ff:ff... address is a problem.  scyld's web site even 
mentions this in passing on one page but I have tried thesuggestions listed 
(cold boot into linux, turn off plug & play bios support - not a option with 
the Micron's bios).  Help?!

Thanks,

David
