Hi, This is a bit of a long shot and perhaps off-topic, for which I apologise in advance.
I've been trying to get any network card at all working with my SGI O2's PCI slot. Linux reports properly in lspci, for example, when I put a Realtek 8139-clone card (a D-Link, to be precise). However, loading the 8139too driver prompts error messages about the chip not being communicable with. I tried a few other standard cards (e.g., a tulip-based and e100-based cards), but with various other errors. So, either my install of linux (debian, sarge, using the O2 boot image) doesn't support this PCI slot properly because of various hardware issues, or the physical O2 hardware itself does not like having any PCI cards in it. Again, it's a long shot, but does anyone know which of these eventualities is actually true? later, Stuart --- digimail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] electromagic-interweb: http://www.mrl.nott.ac.uk/~str This message has been checked for viruses but the contents of an attachment may still contain software viruses, which could damage your computer system: you are advised to perform your own checks.
