Hello all,
Computerbank has a boatload of IBM 300GL systems, including integrated
LAN using the Crystal Lan 8920 chipset.
Theoretically the cs89x0.o module will utilize this, but it didn't last
weekend.
Does anyone have experience with this? If you've got it working, could
you tell me with which distro/version, and any other suggestions you can
contribute?
I've used them successfully with Red Hat <= 6.2 (for some reason
the older machines that I inherited with these on the mobo wouldn't
boot under the 2.4 kernel), and IPCop, again 2.2 kernel and earlier.
They are an ISA card so you have to specify the IO port for
them when loading the driver. From memory I did a bit of
googling about and found a config utility for them that
ran under DOS. They needed to be programmed with a non-
conflicting IRQ as well.
