I tried to compile it on 5-STABLE, but the top-level Makefile bombs out with a lot of declaration and structure errors. The card itself is a Sweex LC500050, which might not work on PCIBIOS 2.1 motherboards according to ral(4) (mine is old enough to be one of these). Maybe this helps the panic? I captured a panic (hand-written), after a "ndis0 up" message from the kernel, with inet address still 0.0.0.0 : fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0xdeadc0de fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xdeadc0de stack pointer = 0x10:0xca3f7c40 frame pointer = 0x10:0xca3f7ca4 code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL=0 current proc = 32 (ndis swi) tid = 100031 show pciregs gives: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0:0 class 0x28000 card 0x25601814 chip 0x02011814 rev 0x01 hdr 0x00 > Regards, > Rene > > > __ > > Markus > > -- > "It won't fit on the line." > -- me, 2001 -- "It won't fit on the line." -- me, 2001 ----- End forwarded message ----- -- "It won't fit on the line." -- me, 2001
