Debian 2.2r2 (kernel 2.2.18pre21) is unable to use the 3c509 ISA network
card.
In modconf, if I attempt to insert 3c905 modules without
parameters,installation fails. In modconf I am apparently able to insert the
module using "3c509 io=0210 irq=12." These
are the resources used for the card in Win95.
lsmod lists 3c509.
However, I am unable to configure the card. When I attempt
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.6 netmask 255.255.255.0 up, I get the same
message twice:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable.
ifconfig -a shows, in addition to the expected:
Interrupt: 10 Base address: 0x300
(I'm guessing that this is significant since I cannot access devices on
the Advansys SCSI PCI card that also claims interrupt 10. What can I do about
this?)
3c509 shows up in /proc/ioports at 300-30F.
It does not show up /proc/interrupts.
Help, anyone?
TIA,
db
