SubjectPCI NE2000 on Linux SMP box
From

Hi,
I have a PPro x2 SMP box and a PCI NE2000 compatible NIC with VIA
chip. I rebuilt Linux kernel to contain ne2k-pci driver as a module.
I configure as below:

---
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1
---

result:

---
# ifconfig -a
...
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:05:00:0B:EC

It looks good. But pings for other hosts on the LAN doesn't
return. In /var/log/syslog:

---
Aug 13 22:20:16 localhost kernel: eth0: timeout waiting for Tx RDC.
Aug 13 22:20:30 localhost last message repeated 14 times
Aug 13 22:20:30 localhost kernel: Socket destroy delayed (r=0 w=384)

Why can't? VIA chips doesn't support my SMP mother board? hmm...
In my box, NT can't use the NIC as same. But I don't know it's
because of same problem.

I guess this is because of:
1. BIOS problem
2. NIC problem
3. ne2k-pci problem
4. network code problem

Anyone, advice me, please.
Thanks for any suggestion.
