2.2r2 and 3c509 network card
Title: 2.2r2 and 3c509 network card
Debian 2.2r2 (kernel 2.2.18pre21) is unable to use the 3c509 ISA
network card.
In modconf, if I attempt to insert 3c905 modules without
parameters,installation fails. In modconf I am apparently able to
insert the module using "3c509 io=0210 irq=12." These are the resources used
for the card in Win95.
lsmod lists 3c509.
However, I am unable to configure the card. When I attempt
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.6 netmask 255.255.255.0 up, I get the
same message twice:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable.
ifconfig -a shows, in addition to the expected:
Interrupt: 10 Base address:
0x300
(I'm guessing that this is significant since I cannot access
devices on the Advansys SCSI PCI card that also claims interrupt 10.
What can I do about this?)
3c509 shows up in /proc/ioports at 300-30F.
It does not show up /proc/interrupts.
Help, anyone?
TIA,
db
