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.
