Linksys EtherFast 10/100 CardBus PC Card (PCMCIA)

2001-03-03 Thread Paul Clark
Can anyone tell me if the Potato tulip.c driver should work with
this card?

The Linksys support site seems to suggest I need to compile a new
driver. Then points to detailed instructions for RPM.

Thanks.

Paul Clark.

I did this and it is the furthest I have managed so far.

Although eth0 fails at boot, before PCMCIA service starts, I can
restart networking and eth0 is now for the first time recognised.

lsmod reports tulip_cb etc. ifconfig reports a nice looking
eth0. But if I try to ping another machine nothing gets through
even though I see light flashing.

I then get the continuous error message

eth0: Transmit timed out, status fc67c057, CSR12 , resetting...
eth0: Transmit timed out, status fc67c057, CSR12 , resetting...
eth0: Transmit timed out, status fc67c057, CSR12 , resetting...

even after I have killed ping.

Do you think I do need the latest tulip.c? I think the company you
mean is http://www.scyld.com/network/tulip.html.

All my network is ne2000 clone ISA or PCI cards. I tried using that
driver but it doesn't seem to work.
