Using ether kernel parameters



Hi,

I have got two ethernet adapters in a Sparc 5 running Debian 2.2.  I am
attempting to swop the ethernet adapters around by passing the following
to the kernel at the SILO prompt:

| Linux ether=38,0x6400,eth0 ether=55,0x4a00,eth1

However, on bootup I still get this:

| sunhme.c:v1.10 27/Jan/99 David S. Miller (davem@caipfs.rutgers.edu)
| eth0: HAPPY MEAL (SBUS) 10/100baseT Ethernet 08:00:20:75:12:80
| sunlance.c:v1.12 11/Mar/99 Miguel de Icaza (miguel@nuclecu.unam.mx)
| eth1: LANCE 08:00:20:75:12:80
| eth1: using auto-carrier-detection.
| eth1: Carrier Lost, trying TPE
| eth0: Link is up using internal transceiver at 100Mb/s, Full Duplex.

If I do an ifconfig to show the interrupts for the network interfaces I
get the following:

| eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 08:00:20:75:12:80
|           inet addr:192.168.0.99  Bcast:192.168.0.255
Mask:255.255.255.0

|           TX packets:170 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
|           collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
|           Interrupt:55 Base address:0x4a00

| eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 08:00:20:75:12:80
|           inet addr:192.168.0.2  Bcast:192.168.0.255
Mask:255.255.255.0
|           UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

|           TX packets:0 errors:1 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:1
|           collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
|           Interrupt:38 Base address:0x6400

Is the ether= a feature only associated with i386 or is it compatible
with Sparc as well?

Kind Regards,
Chris
