Hello, I installed rtnet 0.6.1 and the problems I had with rtifconfig are solved,
That's great - but still a bit obscure.
now I can use it. I have a question about my driver module, 3c59x-rt: it is loaded with a warning that sais "symbol for parameter compaq_ioaddr not found", end I have the following dmesg output:
Well, as the 3c59x-rt is not officially supported, this bug obviously remained undiscovered. Please try the attached fix and tell me if it works (go to the rtnet source directory and run "patch -p0 < 3c59x.patch") . I'm not sure if this is the reason for the crash, but it will fix the warning (I guess you'd rather like it the other way around ;) ).
