Re: 3C905 with AsusTek K7V
I seem to recall problems with older 3c59x.o modules and newer 3C905 NICs.
Newer kernels have a module that works; older ones need to have the newer
version of the module (available from Don Becker's site,
http://www.scyld.com/network/index.html) patched in. SInce you don't say
what version of Debian or what kernel you are using, you might be
experiencing this problem.
In the output you sent, the key line is:
>eth0: 3Com 3c59x Boomerang 100baseTx at 0xa400, 00:60:97:ba:91:1d, IRQ 255
> *** Warning: IRQ 255 is unlikely to work! ***
Do you really get this same line when you set... the IRQ for the card to 5
in the BIOS"? Did you also set the BIOS to "non-PnP" operating system?
