hello everyone, I've been having problems getting my linksys nic to work, and now I know what the problem is. trouble is I don't know how to fix it. the problem is that everything has a different i/o address for the card. it uses the tulip driver. tulip (and the accompanying pci-scan) were both recently compiled from the latest stable version at www.scyld.com. link lights come on for the card and hub, and I can use ifconfig without errors. I noticed the problem because I couldn't get a dhcp server to work.
I have potato with kernel 2.2.15. when my card loads up during booting, I get the following configuration: eth0: Lite-On PNIC-II rev 37 at 0xc3832c00, 00:A0:CC:E2:43:2D, IRQ 11 when I look at ifconfig eth0, I get ... various network parameters, all correct Interrupt:11 Base address:0x2c00 if I go and look at /proc/pci, the card with irq 11 appears to be at 0xf400. in /proc/ioports, it's at 0xc3832c00. if I try just doing ifconfig eth0 io_addr 0xf400, I get SIOCSIFMAP: Operation not supported how else can I change this address? c3832c00 looks too big to even be in i/o memory, and my guess is that the pci bus is actually looking at f400 to talk to the card. I've no idea what ifconfig's 2c00 would mean. arrrrgh. -david --- David C. Ables 3D Printing Lab Massachusetts Institute of Technology [EMAIL PROTECTED]
