Pai probabil ca driverele la e100 erau mai proaste?
In ultimul timp, au ajuns pe mana mea numai placi 3Com de genul asta:
02:01.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone]
(rev 24)
Subsystem: 3Com Corporation 3C905B Fast Etherlink XL 10/100
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 21
I/O ports at 9000 [size=128]
Memory at f3101000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128]
Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=128K]
Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 1
Nu stiu cu ce e100 le comparai tu. Dar tot in ultimul timp, uite ce e100
au ajuns pe mana mea:
02:03.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100]
(rev 08)
Subsystem: Intel Corp. EtherExpress PRO/100+ Management Adapter
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 16
Memory at f3100000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
I/O ports at 9400 [size=64]
Memory at f3000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M]
Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=1M]
Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2
So, 1MB + 4K >> 128 B only... nu? Acum depinde si ce driverul cum isi
foloseste acest avantaj. Placa asta cu 1 MB e proiectata ptr. servere,
exista si placi e100 (arata cam identic ca look) pentru workstation,
dar alea au doar 256 KB + 4, nu 1MB + 4 KB
Si asta nu ca am avut eu noroc cu ele. Dar dintr-un set de vreo 20 de
3Com, toate aveau 128 KB pe ele...
