I installed two 3c509 and had a very difficuilt time doing it.
this might help:
look at /proc/ioports and /proc intterupts and see if anything is
taking the memory of 0x300 and irq 10
if it is boot with a dos disk and rung the 3c50xcfg.exe utility from 3com
and change the base address and irq to unused values when you reboot
you should be in good shape with insmode 3c509
or uncommenting the line in the /etc/rc.d/rc.moudles file that reads
something like
#/sbin/insmod 3c509

Subject: ethertap causes kernel hang in 2.2.3
Date: Thu, 18 Mar 1999 05:07:18 GMT
Hi all,
I've written a IP in IP tunnel with encryption that uses the ethertap driver
and it seems to be working, but I get random kernel hangs. By stress tesing
I can get a hang fairly reproducebly in a few minutes. The machines at the
ends of the tunnel are as follows:
Machine 1: Dual P233MMX with 96MB RAM running 2.2.3 in SMP mode. This
machine is connected to the internet by NE2000 and cable modem.
Machine 2: P133 with 64MB RAM running 2.2.3 in Uniprocessor mode. This
machine is connected to the internet by 100Mbit EEPRO100.
The two machines are about 9 hops away from each other.
The tunnel software is multi-threaded. There are three threads as follows:
Thread 1: main thread opens socket and ethertap device, does other setup,
then starts thread 2 and 3 and wait for them to terminate (which they
never do).
Thread 2: does blocking recvfrom on socket, decrypts packet, notes sender,
then write's packet to ethertap drive.
Thread 3: does blocking read from ethertap, encrypts packet, then does sendto
on socket.
Stress testing on the dual P233 includes: running x windows, running xeyes
and netscape on machine 2 (displayed on machine 1), copying a 1GB file
from machine 1 to machine 2, and running a couple of:
while true; zcat test.gz | gzip > test1.gz; done
This causes the machine to hang within a few minutes. There are no messages
written to syslog, you can't change virtual consoles, can't move the mouse
cursor, can't toggle keyboard lights, and can't use ctrl-alt-del. The only
way to recover is to power cycle. Without stress testing, the machine runs
about a day before hanging.
Machine 2 was hanging periodically last week due to a conflict between the
sound card and scsi card, but that went away after replacing the scsi card
with a different model (1542 -> 1520). Since then, the machine has had
one unexplained hang that could be due to the tunnel (but I'm not sure).
I'm looking for suggestions as to what I should do next. So far my thoughts
include:
- Wrap the ethertap read/write calls in a mutex. One thread would have:
select(tap)
get mutex
read from tap (non-blocking)
release mutex
while the other thread has:
get mutex
write to tap
release mutex
- I thought I should read the relevant sections in the kernel source so I
printed them out. I'm not very familiar with kernel source so it could
take me some time to decipher it.
- Forget this tunnel software and ethertap and do my tunneling using ppp
and ssh. This is a last resort.
Any other suggestions?
Chris.

Subject: Problem with windows telnet
Date: Thu, 18 Mar 1999 05:09:02 GMT
I'm having telnetting to my linux box with MS telnet (from 95). It's
kinda bizzare in that it connects to the linux box but doesn't show any
output in the telnet window. Typing in the window doesn't show up until
after the connection times out. So nothing shows until after the telnet
connection has been closed by the linux box.
I'm using statically assigned IPs (but there is a dns running but it
doesn't wark as yet, need to read the howto) and I can ping both
machines from each other.
Any ideas?

I can't answer many of your questions, but I do have a comment: One
great security measure that I recommend is deleting su from /bin (or is
it /sbin?). This will prevent many of the usual hacking attempts (or at
least provide a nice obstacle) and it's not much of an inconvenience.
You can also mess around with the rights for your passwd file. I
haven't done that but I've heard it mentioned before.

I have installed a 3c509 in a slackware box successfully
but the link light on the hub and the card are down.
I have installed two 3c509 in another box and am very familiar with setting
them up.
In the box in question I have configured eth0 and can see my mac address so
I know the device is working and when I boot in w95 it
works fine. When I install the module the lights never come up.
but I see the 3c509 in /etc/proc/interrupts and /etc/proc/ioports.
Is there a way I can debug the device. The problem must be in a low layer
because I can ping the loop back and the device address but nothing outside
the box.
Does anyone have any insight?
Thanks in advance

Date: 18 Mar 1999 05:26:19 GMT
Okay, I recently set up a Redhat 5.1 box to play with. I have an NDC
(Sohoware) network card in it. It uses a Matronix chip, so when I installed
Redhat I configured it to use the tulip drivers.
All seems well but I can't ping to my other Win98 boxes on the network. I can
ping to my Redhat box itself.
I went to Redhat's site and searched the Faq-o-matic thing and pulled up the
"Can't ping outside" FAQ.
Running ifconfig -a I see that my network card is indeed configured.
Then I ran netstat -r. The FAQ said that if the "default route doesn't show up
or has the wrong IP address, you may need to make changes to your setup."
Okay, the default route doesn't show up for me. So what "changes" to I make to
my setup?
Thanks!

Hi,
I think you got it setup right. I have seen the behaviour you are
describing on my laptop and basically it boils down to a hidden irq conflict.
To make long stories short, it is not possible to run my audio, 2 pcmcia slots,
and parallel port without losing use of one device regardless of the
installation or distribution of Linux I use.
So I would recommend getting your audio and printing working first.
Then playing a .wav file or something when you bring the ethernet up and
see if you hear something funny or bring it up while printing and see if the
page shows up and so on.
Its kind of sketchy advice because everybody swears they don't have an
irq conflict, but I can reproduce what you are saying down to the flashing hub
lights and everything. It works with modems and PPP too. Connects just fine,
logs in, sets the route but justno networking!
Hope this helps,
Dave

Interesting is over 15 years of using modems, 300 baud to 56K modems
(hopefully a Cable or DSL modem in about a year or so), I have NEVER heard
that they have a MAC address? So what command or how do you get the MAC
address of a modem? Does this only apply to Mac modems or all modems? One
other question, why would a modem need a MAC address?

Since you can dial out and connect, it's possible but unlikely that
the modem is at fault. You may have an IRQ conflict, however. That
would give the type of behavior you indicate. You can try changing
the IRQ to see if that cures the problem.
Also, since you are dialing a PPP server, you may have only a short
time after connection for your ppp daemon to "talk" to the daemon at
the other end. I'd say "15 to 20 seconds" is damned short time, &
unusual; but it still might be a matter of ALT-Q and getting pppd
running within that short of a time. Tricky.

It is possible that you already have an ftp server running. My distribution
set one up by default and is running it as a daemon. If you want
documentation, check out the linux documentation project -
http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO and look under the networking howto and
there should be a reference to NET-3 howto which tells you how to set up an

I had to replace my ISA ne2000 ethernet card due to failure. So I bought
a Realtek 8029 PCI ethernet card. The problem is how to I get linux to
find it and use it. It did not work with the ne module so I tried ne2k-pci
. When it boots It detects the card but complains the IRQ of 0 will not
work(of course). My PCI BIOS is neptune and I went in to the PCI setup and
set the IRQ to 12 but linux does not see this. I boot to 95 it does not show
the IRQ that it is using but just the I/O address and of course networking
works there so I know the card functions. The howto says it should work
but I think my neptune BIOS does not report the IRQ to linux. Is there a
step I am missing or something else I can do (like force the IRQ like you
can for ISA cards) ? Thanks
