After i modified e100_init() in e100_main.c , the pci ethernet card could been found :
bash-2.05b# ifconfig -a eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Memory:40000000-40000038 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:9F:00:15:2B inet addr:198.87.102.215 Bcast:198.87.102.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:12606 errors:42 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:7668 errors:3 dropped:0 overruns:3 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:10596597 (10.1 Mb) TX bytes:1218624 (1.1 Mb) Interrupt:43 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 But i still could not config eth0: bash-2.05b# ifconfig eth0 198.87.102.140 SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable I noticed that there was message as blow during kernel bootup: POSIX conformance testing by UNIFIX PCI: Probing PCI hardware PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of device 00:1a.0 Linux NET4.0 for Linux 2.4 Intel(R) PRO/100 Network Driver - version 2.3.38-k1 Copyright (c) 2004 Intel Corporation PCI: Enabling device 00:18.0 (0006 -> 0007) e100: eth0: Intel(R) PRO/100 Network Connection Hardware receive checksums enabled IP-Config: Failed to open eth0 what is wrong?
