Ethernet on a PowerCenter Pro

Ethernet on a PowerCenter Pro

[Alex Vallens]

Although this may be a very simple problem, I just can't get LinuxPPC 5
to recognize the built-in ethernet controller on my Power Computing
Power Center Pro 240. Has anyone had any success with this particular
machine, or have any insight to the right settings under the control
panel?

Thanks a lot,
Alex

My PowerCenter Pro 210's built-in ethernet has worked fine with every
kernel I've found & made myself.  Here's what dmesg says:

eth0: MACE at 00:05:[etc.], chip revision 9.64

Just make sure you compile a kernel with PowerMac MACE ethernet support,
and you should be fine.


Thanks,
Pete

If I recall correctly, PCPro 240 use a DEC chip for Ethernet. I
must admit, I haven't booted Linux for a long time on my
PowerCenter, so I'm not really sure.
Try using DEC 21x40 card support.

I use a PowerCenterPro 210 at home. After using netcfg to setup eth0 it
has worked fine. I've only tried connecting it to my powerbook but I
would guess it should work fine on a "real" ethernet too. It's running
on the 2.2.12 kernel.
