Well I can't seem to get the PMAD-AA to work, but the onboard chip
works great.
Relavant dmesg section:
TURBOchannel rev. 1 at 25.0 MHz (without parity)
slot 1: DEC PMAD-AA V5.3e
slot 2: DEC PMAG-AA V1.0a
declance.c: v0.008 by Linux Mips DECstation task force
eth0: IOASIC onboard LANCE, addr = 08:00:2b:28:f6:02, irq = 3
I even added ether=0,0,eth1 to delo.conf, and that didn't seem to help.
I guess the different hookup does matter.
The declance.c does mention something about pmad-aa but not if it works
or not. Well that being the code in the generic 2.4.18 kernel source
which doens't appear to have been touched in a while.
Any other info I can look up?
Thanks for the help so far.
