It works! Thank you very much.I have added a line in /etc/modules with the name of the driver (de4x5) and a line in /etc/modutils/arch/alpha with
alias eth0 de4x5In some way it loads the right driver at startup and all works fine, but I have seen in /var/log/messages that it also tries to load the "tulip" driver (without success, I suppose because de4x5 is already loaded).
Do you know which is the "right" procedure for loading "de4x5" instead of "tulip"?
Thank you again. Bye Jarno On Wed, 22 Feb 2006, Jay Estabrook wrote:
Since it has a BNC connector, it probably is the slow NIC, ie tulip 21040/21041 chipset. Those work better, IMHO, with the "de4x5" driver, rather than the "dc2104x" driver. Try switching to "de4x5" and see if it works any better.
