hello
im having trouble with a netgear ga621, which is a fiber gigabit card that uses the ns83820 chipset [1]. currently i am using kernel 2.4.9+XFS and the netgear provided driver. i would like to switch to 2.4.16, but the netgear driver does not compile. i presume the problems with that driver are due to the mm changes in 2.4.10.[2] while the ns83820 driver seems to load properly the card does not seem to be able to communicate with the switch [3]. tcpdump does not show any traffic being recieved by the card.
am i wrong in thinking that the ns83820 driver in 2.4.16 should support this card?
has anyone else had any success making this card work with the netgear driver since 2.4.10?
thanks and any help/education appreciated
rob.
