Hi everybody, I am trying to set up a masquerading router with lfs-6.3 as a base system. In this base system I made the following deviations: I am using the "More control and package management using package users" hint And I switched the 2.6.22.5 kernel for a 2.6.24.4 kernel.
Now I have some troubles with my network cards (lspci output): 00:07.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado] (rev 78) 00:09.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905 100BaseT4 [Boomerang] (rev 24) I have got the following driver built-in my kernel: Device Drivers->Network device support->Ethernet (10 or 100mbit)->3COM Cards-> 3c590/3c5900 series (592/595/597) "Vortex/Boomerang" Support Both cards use this driver. Now the first one works fine, but the second one gives the following error Output from dmesg: 0000:00:09.0: 3Com PCI 3c905 Boomerang 100baseT4 at 00011000. PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:09.0 to 64 ***INVALID CHECKSUM 00dc*** <3>*** EEPROM MAC address is invalid. 3c59x: vortex_probe1 fails. Returns -22 I have googled for this error it is a known bug. It shines when you use multiple cards with the same driver. But it should be fixed in kernel version 2.6.15 if understand it correctly. Though I have it with 2.6.24.4 kernel version. Some help would be appreciated.
