Hi !

I am having some problems here with a ThinkPad 600E with a 3com 3c575 card
(3CCFE575CT)

I found the
v2-add-ons/pcmcia/3c575_cb.o.bz2 and
v2-add-ons/pcmcia/cb_enabler.o.bz2
modules ...

I changed the pcmcia/config  so to get the card recognized.

1)
whenever I was inserting the card, I was getting an error
(kernel: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address...
+ oops !)

I had to remove the "dhcp--" from the ./network script.
the error went away...

2) if I try to configure the card manually , I still get an "oops"
as soon as I use a "ifconfig eth0 xx.xx.xx.xx"
"I still get an Unable to handle kernel paging request ...."  :(

I am stuck....

I looked on the list archive but I find an related matter... Anybody has
seen this ?


Ok .. maybe I am doing something wrong ... because after spending some time
looking
around, it seems that the 3c575_cb.o is actually loading a 3c59x  driver but
older
than the one that comes with built-in with the kernel ...
(in kernel I think there is 3x59x.c 18Feb01 , where as the 3c575_cb module
seems to be 3x59x.c:0.99Q 5/16/2000 )

Has Anyone built a 3c575_cb.o from a more recent 3x59x.c file ???

Or should I try to use the kernel built-in driver?? ( I read the manual
of pcmcia but I didn't see how to bind to a buil-in kernel driver instead of
a module ??)


as always,
any help is appreciated !
