3c59x support

3c59x support

[Michiel Borkent]

Hello,
I am trying to make a 2.4.20 kernel with 3c59x support.
My card is a:

3Com 3c900 Cyclone 10Mbps TPO 

card and it only works with the 3c59x-scyld module, I found with Debian Woody 
with a linux v2.2 kernel.

It does NOT work with the normal 3c59x module and as I am trying to make a 
2.4.20 kernel, it still doesn't work. I chose support for "Vortex/Boomerang" 
and normally my card would be supported I think.

Can someone help me with this?

Greetings,
Michiel Borkent

What version of the Scyld driver are you using ?
Please note that the Scyld driver works with the 2.4 kernels too.

Well, "does NOT work" is not really a good starting point for a diagnosis.
You should find in Documentation/networking/vortex.txt in your kernel tree 
details about how to create a useful report.

Hi

i also had problems with the card in some 2.4.x releases
but it seems to work for me on a 2.4.20 kernel.

3c59x: Donald Becker and others. www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html
00:0a.0: 3Com PCI 3c905C Tornado at 0xec00. Vers LK1.1.16

i do still have problems with a card in another machine when rebooting
from windows into linux it fails to init properly.
But since the machine boots from nfs i have not been bothered to
dump the info from this.
