which driver(s) have you tried? i am using 2 of those cards using the
tulip driver on kernel 2.0.36 for about a year now with no trouble.
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:05:30:FF:19
inet addr:208.222.179.31 Bcast:208.222.179.255
Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:67998432 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:67994540 errors:6 dropped:0 overruns:2 carrier:4
Collisions:0
Interrupt:12 Base address:0xd000
I can't tell you exactly what chipset it is because I have only laid eyes
on this machine once since it came online, but i grep'd the drivers for
DC21142 and it looks as if tulip is the driver you should be using. Have
not tested on kernel 2.1/2.2/2.3 dont trust em yet.
