Wavelan cards and PCI ethernet
Hi,
I am trying to install a wavelan card into a linux box. The setup is:
Digital Celebris XL 5166
Digital DE450 PCI Combo Ethernet Card (using tulip driver)
Western Digital (wd8003) 8-bit (el-cheapo) Ethernet card (using wd driver)
Built-In NCR SCSI Host (using 53c7,8xx driver)
Adaptec 2940 Ultr-Wide PCI SCSI (using aic7xxx driver)
(some PCI video card, who cares)
The wavelan card I want to install is:
NCR Wavelan v1.04 (930406), IRQ 10, Port 300
I have tried having the drivers for the 2 ethernet cards, and the wavelan
card, as modules, but the wavelan card is not recognised initially and the
DE450 is assigned IRQ 10 (is that how PCI does it, just looks for a free
one?) and so I cannot load the wavelan driver anymore?
I tried another tack: compiled the wavelan driver into the kernel and left
the other 2 as modules, sure enough it now assigns the DE450 to eth1 but
still uses IRQ 10, so I'm still stuffed.
I noticed that the driver for the wavelan probes only at 0x390, whereas I
believe this card is at 0x300 so I altered the wavelan.c file to match
this, but still no go!
Could anyone help me here please? TIA,
