I have a 3C905C-TX network interface card, and am
having a problem with the vortex driver and my card; I'm running debian
with 2.4.18 kernel. dmesg reports "eth0: could not reserve IRQ 5", which
is indeed the irq that the BIOS is assigning (verified under Windows on the same
machine). The IRQ is shared with a few other devices. I've changed
the IRQ to 10 and 11 via the BIOS, and the driver picks up the newly assigned
irq, but still says "could not reserve IRQ x" (10 and 11 are also shared with
other devices). From searching around, it seems to me that the driver
should work on a shared irq...can someone confirm this? Also,
the card works fine in the same machine under windows.
If anyone can offer some suggestions to get this
working, I'd appreciate it! Cheers,
Paul |
