Hi,
is anyone able to use a 3Com EtherLink 10/100 PCI 3C905B-Combo NIC with
LM8.0?
Mine is connected via 10Base2 (thinnet) with BNC connectors, works
perfect under windows,
but not at all in LM8.0. I can't ping my gateway or anything else, I get
"Destination Host Unreachable"
all the time.
I am thinking, could it be because the card chooses the wrong interface,
say 10BaseT instead of
10Base2? The "3c59x" module loads fine (but gets me nowhere), but I
can't find out if it
accepts any options, such as the interface...
The newer "3c90x" does not load at all. It gives:
[root@botik 3c90x-1.0.0]# insmod 3c90x
Using /lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/net/3c90x.o.gz
Warning: /lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/net/3c90x.o.gz
parameter switchdelay has max < min!
/lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/net/3c90x.o.gz: init_module: No
such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
or if I try to set media to 10Base2:
[root@botik 3c90x-1.0.0]# insmod 3c90x media_select=3
Using /lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/net/3c90x.o.gz
Warning: /lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/net/3c90x.o.gz
parameter switchdelay has max < min!
/lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/net/3c90x.o.gz: unknown
parameter type 'M' for media_select
Has anyone been able to load the "3c90x" module, especially with this
card?
I also downloaded the source for 3c90x and tried to compile it, but got
lots of warnings and errors.
Has anyone done this? Would you share how to?
Thank you,
Aleksey
