I don't know if anyone recalls the troubles I was having getting an Intel clone 82595FX NIC (ISA) working in a Slackish distro, but I made several posts about it. Finally got the NIC to work by using a module from a newer kernel: despite boot-time complaints, it works fine now. Well, now I'm experimenting with getting it to work with a 2.0.34 kernel (one it works with is 2.2.16). I've gotten the right module for it, the module loads as long as I give the io= argument. I can assign an address to it (ifconfig eth0 192.168.x.x). But when I try to use it (to ping another machine on my network), I get the message "XMT status = 0x400", which just repeats over and over. ctrl + c halts the ping attempt with 100% packet loss. But that message - "XMT status = 0x400" keeps popping up at the command line after that. I've got another working card that I think I'm going to use, so this is not a mission-critical matter. After the grief I've gone through with these cards, I'm ready to start just pitching them out the window. But maybe I can learn something before I do that. Anyone have any idea what this "XMT status = 0x400" message means?
