Hello ! I have problems with the card mentioned above. The driver for SMC etherpower II cards (epic100) does not work. Please someone tell me if there is a LINUX driver for it or not. I took a look at the web page http://www.smc.com/ftpdocs/nics.html#nics/latest and I think that this chipset is a brand new one. Here is some information about the state of the system.
dmesg|grep eth0 eth0: SMC EPIC/100 (chip ID 0005) at 0x1000, IRQ 11, 00:e0:29:30:d6:e4. eth0: MII transceiver #3 control 3000 status 7809. eth0: Autonegotiation advertising 01e1 link partner 0001. ifconfig lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Collisions:0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:29:30:D6:E4 inet addr:152.66.73.171 Bcast:152.66.73.191 Mask:255.255.255.224 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:9 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Collisions:0 Interrupt:11 Base address:0x1000 route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 152.66.73.160 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.224 U 0 0 1 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 152.66.73.161 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 2eth0 uname -a Linux tateyama3 2.0.36 #2 Sun Feb 21 15:55:27 EST 1999 i686 unknown I would appreciate any help.
