Re: Redhat -> Debian PCI problems
Hi Daniel,
The latest driver can be had from Donald Becker's page at
cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov - now at v0.83.
I am using the tulip driver here with no problems. About all I can think
of is that it probably requires a bus-mastering slot and of course check
/proc/interrupts to see that all is well. There is also a diagnostic
program available from the above site.
