Re: PS/2 router with MCA nic



i have recently obtained a ps/2 - 70 with an mca smc-tcp mc nic and
initially could not get the kernel to properly recognize the nic but that
was because i needed to apply a patch to one of the standard nic
drivers...i just found the patch yesterday but have not tried to apply it
but along the way in  search for info i did see that there were a number
of patches for different nics around, so that may be one thing you should
try to do...is look around for a patch if none of the standard drivers
work.  Have patience also because there is a great deal of outdated
material concerning linux and the mca bus ;)
 

otherwise...there were no problems with using the mca bus....its just
another bus.....

regards,

jd?
