Hi, I bought an Intel PRO/100 S Dual Port Server adapter to put in my PC. (This is supported by Linux isn't it?) and chucked it in my PC, and got lovely stuff like this when I booted up:
eth0: Invalid EEPROM checksum 0xffc0, check settings before activating this device! eth0: OEM i82557/i82558 10/100 Ethernet at 0x5800, FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF, IRQ 0. Receiver lock-up bug exists -- enabling work-around. Board assembly ffffff-255, Physical connectors present: RJ45 BNC AUI MII Primary interface chip unknown-15 PHY #31. Secondary interface chip i82555. Self test failed, status ffffffff: Failure to initialize the i82557. Verify that the card is a bus-master capable slot. eth1: Invalid EEPROM checksum 0xffc0, check settings before activating this device! eth1: OEM i82557/i82558 10/100 Ethernet at 0x5820, FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF, IRQ 0. Receiver lock-up bug exists -- enabling work-around. Board assembly ffffff-255, Physical connectors present: RJ45 BNC AUI MII Primary interface chip unknown-15 PHY #31. Secondary interface chip i82555. Self test failed, status ffffffff: Failure to initialize the i82557. Verify that the card is a bus-master capable slot. The PC is an early Pentium 75, running kernel 2.2.14 with a kernel with Intel EtherExpress PRO support compiled in. Is it simply a case of my computer being too old, or am I doing something wrong?
