Thanks!

I'm going to entitle this one "It was late and I was tired" (thanks Gary Larson!) I have not been able to reproduce this behaviour on subsequent attempts. It -is- worth noting that the addin NIC won't come up off a hard boot. I have to hardboot, login over ttyS0, and issue a soft reboot. I suspect this behaviour coupled with my cable swapping led me to mis-diagnose as an eth0/eth1 switch. > (b) fixes to support 21142 Phy (your add-on card) > only got posted a few monthes ago. Aren't BOTH of my net interfaces 21142 Phy? The only difference is "rev 21" vs "rev 30" AFAICS. > I don't expect your add-on NIC to work with 2.6.8-2. Quite bizarre. I've just finished a netinstall of debian-base and apt-get dist-upgraded my way to testing via that very add-in NIC. Still using 2.6.8-2-32-smp; want to try a newer uni-proc kernel later. > (c) built-in NIC should work fine. No idea what's going on here. > I'm not aware of any code changes that might break this. Tried a fresh net install with -no- additional cards in (just the naked c200 + drives) and I can of course get a basic system, but none of the things mentioned so far in this thread can bring up the onboard tulip. > > http://dhbarr.freeshell.org/c200/lspci-vv.txt > > http://dhbarr.freeshell.org/c200/dmesg.txt > > eth0: Digital DS21143 Tulip rev 33 at 0xf2802000, 00:60:B0:B2:F8:65, IRQ 99. > eth1: Digital DS21143 Tulip rev 48 at 0xf2803000, 00:60:B0:FD:B4:59, IRQ 96. > > d) why is this kernel reporting MMIO space? > Other kernels used IO Port space.

I'm going to have to chew / google on this one, as it's a bit over my head. We'll see if I make any headway tomorrow with the new kernel.
