I can load the module but when I try to bring up the interface I get a stream of bus errors. eth1: using NWAY autonegotiation eth1: Host error, FIFO diagnostic register 0000. eth1: PCI bus error, bus status 80000020 eth1: using NWAY autonegotiation eth1: Host error, FIFO diagnostic register 0000. eth1: PCI bus error, bus status 80000020 eth1: using NWAY autonegotiation eth1: Host error, FIFO diagnostic register 0000. I am using the 2.4.2 version of the Walnut kernel dated Mar 1 on the ftp site. There are changes to the 3com driver in the pre patches but I have not tried it yet. Most docs say this is a hardware failure so I might want to change the PCI slot I am using. Has anyone successfully used a PCI network card in the Walnut board. If it is just a driver bug I do not want to spend time fixing it, I would just want to get a card that works. I just want to do some perf testing on board itself.
