You can also use the program LinNeighborhood :)

Subject: 4Lan Ethernet NIC with Macronix Chipset
Hello,
I own a 4Lan Fast Ethernet Card with a Macronix MX98717 Chipset. I can't
get it to work under Linux (SuSE , Kernel 2.0.36).
The card is recognized by the driver with the correct interrupt and io
address.
I use the tulip driver as a module and I tried nearly all option values
you can set, but it doesn't do anything.
The NIC is connected to a autosensing 10/100 Hub with 2 LED's for each
port, a orange one which is lit if there is a 10MB connection, and another
green one, both are lit when it is 100MB, all in half duplex which I
figured out with the supplied DOS Diag program on the NIC's disk. So far
so good.
When I load the tulip module under Linux only the green LED is lit and
that is an error. I also got this when I switched to full-duplex mode with
the DOS-program.
So my question is: Which options= parameter should I use with the tulip
driver?????
BTW: I also tried the tulip-diag program for linux, it recognises the NIC
if I supply the -p 0xe400 parameter, but it says the card is set to 10MB
and full-duplex which can't be if i refer to the LED's of my Hub.
The only thing which I can change with the options parameter is the full
and half-duplex mode but not the speed, it is always 10MB. But also if I
set it to 10MB/half-duplex there is no correct LED signal on the hub.
Hope that anyone can help, I serached Dejanews, Altavista, Howtos and
SuSE's support database but couldn't get a hint.
All this crap took 5 hours til now... :(
Bye,
Martin

So just how do you tell the Linux box running IPFWADM where to send the
incoming sessions too then? What ports do you redirect for instance. It
could be one of hundreds?
So I still say that you CANNOT make Incoming session on Netmeeting work?
Sure you can list directories, and place outgoing calls. But the return
(incoming) audio and video will just not get through.. How can it, linux
just sits there and sorta says "Errrrr - what do I do with this then" ?
I myself would love to use Netmeeting via my Linux box too, but alas like I
say you can't. If only MS would add a SOCKS5 option or something. Talking of
which I have even tried running a sockified version of Netmeeting via my
SOCKS5 server, but that still didn't work right either :-(
So, will you please correct me, and inform me just how to do this, and
make Netmeeting work via MASQUERADING. It will end months (years) of playing
with TCPDUMP, IPTRAF and a whole heap of other stuff. In a bid to find a
way 'make it work' ?

It is real simple to add the support for the ne2000 card.
get up to speed on the kernel. http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/
there should be a kernel HOWTO there.
then all thats left is to build a kernel with ne2000 support.

There's been a lot of change in the Tulip drivers recently, because of the
demise of genuine DEC 21x4x chipsets and the rise of clones like the
Macronix you've got. I suggest you download the latest driver from
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/tulip-devel.html. Personally,
I'm running with 0.90q (which I gather is no longer quite the latest), and
have no problems with a genuine 21143 board from Kingston or with a
Lite-On (PNIC) board from Linksys. Both boards gave problems with the
driver that came with the 2.2.3 kernel I'm using. (The driver from the
NASA site may be more recent than whatever's in the latest kernel.)

Subject: HDD Spindown - For a Year!
Date: Mon, 19 Apr 1999 12:41:10 -0700
I have an application whereby I would like to use a Linux machine as a
network gateway. This particular function requires a very high Mean time
between failures (MTBF) - I.E. 10 years without failure. I would like to
set it up to powered up, with the necessary things loaded, and then left ..
possibly forever. I would like to be able to run the thing for upwards of a
YEAR or so without needing the HDD. Basically, the only time that the HDD
would be required is for boot up when power returns after a power failure.
I would turn off all CRON functions that access the HDD. Any error or event
logging could be buffered locally (for example in a ram drive) and then sent
to a remote Monitor and Control system periodically (Say once per hour or
once per day). As far as I can tell, I don't believe the software apps need
the HDD once they're loaded.
My questions are:
1) Can Linux run without the primary HDD spinning? (I would imagine so
since laptops can run Linux - but for how long?)
2) If so, what are the implications of the swap file (could I replace it
with a ram disk?), and
3) how could the the proc file system be handled (another ram disk?)
4) Is there a s/w application (or LINUX configuration) that spins down the
HDD on command or after a timeout?
Any discussion on this would be greatly appreciated.
