Hi, Maybe I can help.
Check http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/3c509.html which talks about Linux and 3com 3c5*9 Ethercards. I just got a new version of the 3c509 driver for my card to get a fix for the 'Waiting for 3c509 to discard packet, status 2001.' nag some of you might have seen. The page has a link to the 3c509.c file which has this in the comments: FIXES: Alan Cox: Removed the 'Unexpected interrupt' bug. Michael Meskes: Upgraded to Donald Becker's version 1.07. Alan Cox: Increased the eeprom delay. Regardless of what the docs say some people definitely get problems with lower (but in card spec) delays v1.10 4/21/97 Fixed module code so that multiple cards may be detected, other cleanups. -djb The URL straight to the driver source is http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/3c509.c // Heikki Drazen Lalovic wrote: > > THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.
