Has there been a fix circulated for it? the pcnet32 driver first resets the chip and then checks CSR0 to see that the chip is really reset. It also checks, if writing the register index register works. It looks like something is wrong here with accessing the chip for what ever reason. This probing part of the driver hasn't changed for a long time, at least it fairly looks like it was, when I still was the maintainer of the driver. Thomas. -- Crap can work. Given enough thrust pigs will fly, but it's not necessary a good idea. [ RFC1925, 2.3 ]
