Kernel 2.0.34 for AIC 7890 and 3com cyclone (3C905B)
Hi, I run an ASUS P2B-LS motherboard with AIC 7890 SCSI , so I had to install a special kernel image (2.0.34) from ~doko/aic7xxx. But I have also a 3com cyclone card (3C905B) which doesn't work. I recompiled 3c59x.c with kernel-sources-2.0.34, but it still gives ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff station address. BTW, my PNP OS is disabled. 3com cyclone has been reported to work with kernel 2.0.35. But I am stuck until AIC7890 will be supported in 2.0.x ? Does this mean I am locked ? Anyone has a tip or suggestion ?

I recompiled 3c59x.c with kernel-sources-2.0.34, but it still gives ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff station address. BTW, my PNP OS is disabled. I got the same problem with this network card, and compiling 2.0.35 did not help. I finally got the latest test version of 3c59x.c from the author, and dropped that in the kernel tree. Check out the archives from this list, I posted my question `3com905B cyclone not working' this month, Lars Steinke's response helped me out. If you want, I can email the source I used to you. Note that you need to use the 3c59x driver, not the 3c90x one which would seem more logical looking at the names. HTH, Eric -- E.L.

3com cyclone has been reported to work with kernel 2.0.35. But I am stuck until AIC7890 will be supported in 2.0.x ? Does this mean I am locked ? Anyone has a tip or suggestion ? Both support for aic7890 and ethernet are drivers; you can download the updates for aic7890/3com 3c590b yourself and compile a new kernel. If you need the sites from which to download the latest drivers for these two items, let me know. (You can find them by searcing the source code for URLs in aic7xxx.c and 3c59x.c in the kernel source code).
