hello, i have an isa 3com etherlink III. i had another one before, on the same PC... as long as i specifed irq7 in modconf it worked fine. this one will not work. i ran the 3c5x9utils package, and it told me it was on irq5. so, i changed everything i told it to use irq7 to irq5, and it still fails. oh, by fails, i mean i do not get a link light when i plug it into other know-working ethernet devices. so, i used 3c5x9utils to tell it to use irq7 instead, but it still doesn't get a link light. nothing else is on irq7 (/proc/interupts) or even 5 for that matter. this 3com will not work on irq5 or irq7. when i ran 3c5x9setup, i got: Interrupt sources are pending. Adapter Failure indication. 3c5x9 found at 0x300. Indication enable is 00fe, interrupt enable is 009c. has anyone seen that line about "failure" before? i can't seem to find if that failure is EEPROM related or a physical problem. this nic was given to me, so... any thoughts?! thanks, jason -- --------------------------------------------------------------- | http://theigloo.dhs.org:81 | http://counter.li.org/ | | Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 Woody | 2.4.16-k6 | | jason@theigloo.dhs.org | registered linux user #202942 | ---------------------------------------------------------------
