Hmmm, a _slight_ correction ;-)
The network card does not work as _standard_ by linux versions under 2.6.8
What you need to do is the following (on SuSE 9.1 with default installed
kernel,
directories may be different under different distro's)
# cd /usr/src/linux/drivers/net
# cp 3c59x.c 3c59x.org.c
# vi 3c59x.c
You need to change the following
Change line 572
>From
PCI_USES_IO|PCI_USES_MASTER, IS_TORNADO|HAS_NWAY|HAS_HWCKSM, 128, },
To
PCI_USES_IO|PCI_USES_MASTER, IS_TORNADO|HAS_MII|HAS_HWCKSM, 128, },
Then change line 622
>From
{ 0x10B7, 0x9210, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, CH_920B_EMB_WNM },
To
{ 0x10B7, 0x9202, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, CH_920B_EMB_WNM },
Save then do the following
# cd /usr/src/linux
# cp arch/i386/defconfig .config
Or whatever default config you need.
# make
# make modules
# rmmod 3c59x
# mv /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/3c59x.ko
/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/3c59x.oldko
# cp drivers/net/3c59x.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.4-52-smp/kernel/drivers/net/3c59x.ko
# depmod
# modprobe 3c59x
Then setup the network card.
Later kernels work 'out of the box'
I've got TV out from the PVR-350 (which is a *very* tight fit) so I've not
tried tv out on the onboard card.
