Hi, as my "normal" PC just died and I strongly need it as a router I thought about adding this functionality to my alpha (digital AlphaStation 500 333 Mhz). So I got a RealTek NIC from my i386 machine and put in into my alpha hoping that would work (it would told me this should). After installing the NIC the boot outputs " SLIP: version 0.8.4-NET3.019-NEWTTY (dynamic channels, max=256). CSLIP: code copyright 1989 Regents of the University of California. loop: loaded (max 8 devices) Linux Tulip driver version 0.9.15-pre12 (Aug 9, 2002) eth0: Digital DC21040 Tulip rev 36 at 0x9800, 00:00:F8:23:30:83, IRQ 29. 8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.2 " and does not do anything after that. This was from 2.4.21-rc7, I tried 2.2.25 before and there was a similar problem: " SLIP: version 0.8.4-NET3.019-NEWTTY (dynamic channels, max=256). CSLIP: code copyright 1989 Regents of the University of California. tulip.c:v0.91g-ppc 7/16/99 becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov eth0: Digital DC21040 Tulip rev 36 at 0x9000, 00:00:F8:23:30:83, IRQ 29. eth1: region already allocated at 0x9000. " .. and halts too doing nothing... Any advice? Do I need some boot parameters? Regards, René
