Your patch probably > affected the tulip and 3c59x module (which I use in my alpha). This is unlikely; I have both tulip and 3c59x cards that *required* this patch to be applied (... reverted) before they were usable under 2.4.26. Which 2.4.2x kernels have you been able to use these ethernet cards under successfully, and which source trees were they based on? For the DECChip-based ethernet card, have you tried other drivers besides tulip (e.g., de4x5)? > Linux Tulip driver version 0.9.15-pre12 (Aug 9, 2002) > tulip0: EEPROM default media type Autosense. > tulip0: Index #0 - Media 10baseT (#0) described by a 21142 Serial PHY (2) block. > tulip0: Index #1 - Media 10baseT-FDX (#4) described by a 21142 Serial PHY (2) block. > tulip0: Index #2 - Media 10base2 (#1) described by a 21142 Serial PHY (2) block. > tulip0: Index #3 - Media AUI (#2) described by a 21142 Serial PHY (2) block. > tulip0: Index #4 - Media MII (#11) described by a 21142 MII PHY (3) block. > tulip0: MII transceiver #5 config 0000 status 7849 advertising 01e1. > eth0: Digital DS21143 Tulip rev 48 at 0x9000, 00:00:F8:75:79:E5, IRQ 24. > 3c59x: Donald Becker and others. www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html > See Documentation/networking/vortex.txt > 01:09.0: 3Com PCI 3c595 Vortex 100baseTx at 0x8400.

Neither of these seem to be particularly common models; it seems plausible that both of these drivers fail in 2.4.26 due to incompatibilites with the particular ethernet chips you have, rather than due to the PCI fix causing problems. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
