| |
Hi there,
1.3.95 has severe problem to detect my second ethernet Interface in a quite mixed Configuration:
The first Interfave is a SMC Ultra at 0x340, IRQ 10, the second one a 3COM 3c509 at 0x300, IRQ 10.
In most cases the detection fails, even if IRQ and adress of the second Interface are given to LILO, but one of 10 times or so the second Card is detected, sometimes missing the first card interface, sometimes detecting both, it's somewhat unpredictable.
exactly the same Kernel does detection well at another Machine equipped with one SMC-Ultra and one WD80x3.
With 1.3.91 and before both cards were reliably found with ether=0,0,eth1.
Investigating this, i noticed another, maybe related, strange thing:
ifconfig ( 1.3.6-BETA ) reports wrong base addresses for SMC-Ultra and WD Cards. The base address shown by ifconfig is always 0x10 greater than the real address.
This also happens with 1.2.13 and ifconfig 1.2.0, ---------------------------------------------------- Martin Cornelius, ZARMFAB software development Center of applied Space and Microgravity research ZARM, University of Bremen, Germany phone: 49-421-218-4807 FAX: 49-421-218-3887 email: fabsoft@zarm.uni-bremen.de snail-mail: ZARMFAB c/o Martin Cornelius Universitaet Bremen Hochschulring / Am Fallturm 28359 BREMEN Germany ----------------------------------------------------
