This is what I found in the Ethernet-HOWTO concerning Allied Telesyn's network cards. It does not mention AT-2000 cards, maybe you should check the chip the card you have uses. It could be a clone of some other manufacturer's card. 5.3. Allied Telesyn/Telesis 5.3.1. AT1500 Status: Supported, Driver Name: lance These are a series of low-cost ethercards using the 79C960 version of the AMD LANCE. These are bus-master cards, and hence one of the faster ISA bus ethercards available. DMA selection and chip numbering information can be found in ``AMD LANCE''. More technical information on AMD LANCE based Ethernet cards can be found in ``Notes on AMD...''. 5.3.2. AT1700 Status: Supported, Driver Name: at1700 Note that to access this driver during make config you still have to answer `Y' when asked ``Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers?'' at the first. This is simply due to lack of feedback on the driver stability due to it being a relatively rare card. If you have problems with the driver that ships with the kernel then you may be interested in the alternative driver available at: http://www.cc.hit-u.ac.jp/nagoya/at1700/ The Allied Telesis AT1700 series ethercards are based on the Fujitsu MB86965. This chip uses a programmed I/O interface, and a pair of fixed-size transmit buffers. This allows small groups of packets to be sent back-to-back, with a short pause while switching buffers. A unique feature is the ability to drive 150ohm STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable commonly installed for Token Ring, in addition to 10baseT 100ohm UTP (unshielded twisted pair). A fibre optic version of the card (AT1700FT) exists as well. The Fujitsu chip used on the AT1700 has a design flaw: it can only be fully reset by doing a power cycle of the machine. Pressing the reset button doesn't reset the bus interface. This wouldn't be so bad, except that it can only be reliably detected when it has been freshly reset. The solution/work-around is to power-cycle the machine if the kernel has a problem detecting the AT1700. 5.3.3. AT2450 Status: Supported, Driver Name: pcnet32 This is the PCI version of the AT1500, and it doesn't suffer from the problems that the Boca 79c970 PCI card does. DMA selection and chip numbering information can be found in ``AMD LANCE''. More technical information on AMD LANCE based Ethernet cards can be found in ``Notes on AMD...''. 5.3.4. AT2500 Status: Semi-Supported, Driver Name: rtl8139 This card uses the RealTek 8139 chip - see the section ``RealTek 8139''. 5.3.5. AT2540FX Status: Semi-Supported, Driver Name: eepro100 This card uses the i82557 chip, and hence may/should work with the eepro100 driver. If you try this please send in a report so this information can be updated. Sandro -- Bellum se ipsum alet. La guerra nutre se stessa.
