Cheers. I did know the card was on the list and I am using pcmcia-cs
version 3.1.20, so relatively recent.
I do notice that the card that does work is found at 0x300 rather than
the 0x0149 of the one that does nto work.
Will have to seem what else I can find out.

They are generated automatically by a program called "diff", so that
the script can be used as input for the "patch" program. See the man

Yes. You could also use the "patch" program to do it
automatically. Using "patch" to change a single line is a bit
unnecessary, but it's a good way to learn how to use it.

The Netgear 410TX (which is PCMCIA) also uses the tulip driver and
supports 100BTX just fine. I suspect that the 410TX and 310TX are the
same, but with different bus interfaces.

Date: Sun, 17 Dec 2000 19:18:56 GMT
I need to configure a dual processor linux server that will run RedHat Linux
7. The machine needs to be rack mountable in a 2U or 3U chassis. In
addition to a diskette and CD ROM, it also needs to house a SCSI tape backup
device.
At the moment I am considering either the Dell PowerEdge 2450 or the IBM
Netfinity 4500R. The Dell product is the only one that I am aware of that
can do what I need in a 2U chassis. The IBM is a 3U chassis. I should
probably have the Compaq ProLiant DL380 on this list as well, but that
machine seems more expensive than either the Dell or IBM. I'd be happy to
buy from penguincomputing or VA Linux, but both would require me to go to a
4U chassis.
Your comments on either or both of the IBM or Dell machines running RedHat 7
will be greatly appreciated. I'd like to know if either requires
proprietary software in order to run. I know that both IBM and Dell ship
machines with Linux on them, but that doesn't tell me the extent to which
proprietary software is required.

I have the FA310TX and it does work with the standard tulip v0.89H module.
However, it does not work properly with newer tulip v0.91g-ppc. So if you
upgrade your kernel (which you should because kernels before 2.2.15 have a
security flaw), then use the old_tulip module. I have kernel 2.2.17 and
do get 100mb full duplex automatically on a crossover cable.
The problem with the newer module is that the card cannot get out until it
has received traffic (ie: network unreachable until somebody pings you).
The old_tulip does not have that problem.

IRQ 2 is the same as IRQ 9 . They are identical, as the secondary
