This is very verbose. Sorry. I much prefer to toss all the pieces on the table at the same time. Dag B [1.] One line summary of the problem: -test7/8 version of xircom_tulip_cb does not enable my Xircom Realport (RBEM56G-100) Nor any of the other kernels I have tried... [2.] Full description of the problem/report: My Xircom Realport (RBEM56G-100) is causing headaches. It works with NT4/SP5 on my Dell CPi laptop, so the hardware is functional. (Tested this morning. ) When loading the xircom_tulip_cb.c:v0.91 driver, things looks ok, until you study the MAC address, which is all zeros. What follows is the output from -test7 and test8: -test7: Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.11 options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm] Yenta IRQ list 0098, PCI irq11 Socket status: 30000006 Yenta IRQ list 0098, PCI irq11 Socket status: 30000020 devfs: v0.102 (20000622) Richard Gooch ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) devfs: boot_options: 0x0 kmem_create: Forcing size word alignment - nfs_fh cs: cb_alloc(bus 4): vendor 0x115d, device 0x0003 PCI: Failed to allocate resource 1 for PCI device 115d:0003 PCI: Failed to allocate resource 2 for PCI device 115d:0003 PCI: Failed to allocate resource 6 for PCI device 115d:0003 PCI: Enabling device 04:00.0 (0000 -> 0003) PCI: Failed to allocate resource 1 for PCI device 115d:0103 PCI: Failed to allocate resource 2 for PCI device 115d:0103 PCI: Failed to allocate resource 6 for PCI device 115d:0103 PCI: Enabling device 04:00.1 (0000 -> 0003) [snip] tulip_attach(04:00.0) PCI: Setting latency timer of device 04:00.0 to 64 xircom_tulip_cb.c:v0.91 4/14/99 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (modified by [EMAIL PROTECTED] for XIRCOM CBE, fixed by Doug Ledford) eth1: Xircom Cardbus Adapter (DEC 21143 compatible mode) rev 3 at 0x1800, 00:00:00:00:00:00, IRQ 11. -test8: Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.20 options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm] Yenta IRQ list 0298, PCI irq11 Socket status: 30000006 devfs: v0.102 (20000622) Richard Gooch ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) devfs: boot_options: 0x2 kmem_create: Forcing size word alignment - nfs_fh Yenta IRQ list 0298, PCI irq11 Socket status: 30000020 cs: cb_alloc(bus 4): vendor 0x115d, device 0x0003 PCI: Failed to allocate resource 1 for PCI device 115d:0003 PCI: Failed to allocate resource 2 for PCI device 115d:0003 PCI: Failed to allocate resource 6 for PCI device 115d:0003 PCI: Enabling device 04:00.0 (0000 -> 0003) PCI: Failed to allocate resource 1 for PCI device 115d:0103 PCI: Failed to allocate resource 2 for PCI device 115d:0103 PCI: Failed to allocate resource 6 for PCI device 115d:0103 PCI: Enabling device 04:00.1 (0000 -> 0003) VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.

I can use ifconfig to set a hw-address (does the card really support this?), but if I try to set an IP-address, the system hangs hard.

Port selection is MII, half-duplex. Transmit stopped, Receive stopped, half-duplex. The Rx process state is 'Stopped'. The Tx process state is 'Stopped'. PCI bus error!: Parity Error.
