3C905B -- EEPROM (i blive so) problem

2001-06-13 Thread L. K.
Hi, I have a 3COM 3C905B ethernet card that has been hit by a power outage for aprox. 0.5 sec. Now, the kernel does not recongnize the card anymore. When I do lspci, I see 3COM Ethernet controller, type unknown 0xff (rev 3x). The bios reports the card as an ethernet card at system boot-up.

From: L. K. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] I really do not belive that for a CPU or a motherboard +- 1 degree would make any difference. You haven't pushed your system, or run it in a hostile environment then. There are many places where systems are run right up to the edge of thermal

Are you really sure about this ? I am. I made Abitur (german degree after 13yrs of school) with physics being an important course, and there can not be any temperature less than 0 K (or -273.15°C if you want). This is because temperature is nothing but the movement of pieces of materie
