I've got two Microdyne NE2000+ cards in a computer
system and I can't seem to get them to both work.
(They work fine under Win95, so I don't think it is
a hardware problem.)
I've built the driver as modules and my conf.modules file
looks like this:
alias eth0 ne
alias eth1 ne
options ne io=0x320,0x340
This comes straight from the Ethernet HOWTO, but doesn't seem to
work for me. I've also tried specifying the IRQs on the options
line, but still no luck. I've also tried loading the module twice
as suggested in the HOWTO.
The error message I get in the system log says "No valid signature
found at 0x340" and then prints some hex numbers. I assume it's trying
to read something from the card IO ports and not getting what is expected.
I'm certain the 0x340 address is correct. I configured it that way using
a DOS based configuration utility and Win95 reports that it is using this
value. (These are not PNP cards, but are software configurable. I believe
the resource settings are stored on the card in EEPROM or some such.)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony Richardson
