FW: FW: D-Link DFE-530TX+ via-rhine.o module
I don't have a /proc/pci folder. This is a pretty bare machine that I built just to use as a linux test box, so all I have in there is an AGP video card and this PCI D-Link nic card. I haven't used the card under windows, so I can't steal any IRQ info from there. When I run lsmod, it lists: nls_cp437 38801 (autoclean) serial 19640 0 (autoclean) unix11336 35 (autoclean) I haven't had to do this much tweaking since I installed Windows 3.1... I'm having flashbacks. Where can I read up on diagnosing IO and IRQ parameter problems? (assuming that is what the problem is)? -Original Message- From: D-Man [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 19, 2001 9:31 AM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: FW: D-Link DFE-530TX+ via-rhine.o module On Mon, Mar 19, 2001 at 01:26:31AM -0800, David Carlile wrote: | Thanks for the quick reply. | | I tried modconf and selected rtl8193.

FW: FW: D-Link DFE-530TX+ via-rhine.o module
I have some more information but I'm still stumped. I found /proc/pci... I don't know why I couldn't find it before. Probably sleep deprivation. My card is listed. Here is the info: Bus 0, defice 11, function 0; Ethernet controller: Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 16) Vendor id=1186. Device id=1300. Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 10. Master Capable. Latency=32. Min Gnt=32. Max Lat=64 I/O at 0xb000 [0xb001]. Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xde80 [0xde0]. The card doesn't seem to be stomping on any other devices -- It has it's own IRQ and memory... I turned PnP off in the bios. I tried a few things like moving the card to several other PCI slots. I even explicitly set the pci slot it is in to IRQ 10, but to no avail. I have been looking through the archive for references to the card and driver but all I come up with are posts about how easy it is to get this card running. People actually suggest this card to newbies because it is so easy to install. This makes me think there is something major that I am missing. Here is the error message again: Device or resource busy. Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or irq parameters.

Dlink changed the configuration of the realtek they were using during
later production runs. The particular card you have does not report itself
as a realtek, so the driver does not find it.
The only fix is to modify the kernel driver. The simplest route is to use
the donald becker drivers (http://www.scyld.com/network/) for the 8139
which has an entry, or you can modify the PCI probe of the linux drivers.
I would expect that the 2.4.2 kernels have this patch applied, but 2.4.0
did not..
It would be very nice if the next drop of the potato boot floopies
included an entry in the realtek driver code for this chip.
The update to the 2.4.0 8139too driver looks like this:
static struct pci_device_id rtl8139_pci_tbl[] __devinitdata = {
{0x10ec, 0x8139, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, RTL8139 },
{0x10ec, 0x8138, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, RTL8139_CB },
{0x1113, 0x1211, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, SMC1211TX },
/* {0x1113, 0x1211, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, MPX5030 },*/
{0x1500, 0x1360, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, DELTA8139 },
{0x4033, 0x1360, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, ADDTRON8139 },
{0x1186, 0x1300, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, RTL8139 }, // dlink
{0,}
};
A fix for the 2.2 kernel should be similar in nature, but the table looks
different IIRC.

Re: FW: FW: D-Link DFE-530TX+ via-rhine.o module
I'm pretty sure the DFE-530TX+ uses the RealTek rtl-8139 driverI have the same card and that is what I use the DFE-530TX (notice no '+') uses the via-rhine module (I think)... I had the DFE-530TX a year ago and used via-rhine I moved to the DFE-530TX+ specifically to get away from via-rhine a little while backanyway, try the rtl-8139 for your DFE-530TX+ and I bet that should do it On Mon, 19 Mar 2001, David Carlile wrote: I have some more information but I'm still stumped.
