Hi, The subject says it all: I am installing a Debian 1.3.1 system on a brand new PC with a 3c900 Combo board. Since I have a Buslogic Flashpoint SCSI card, I used the disks under the special/ directory, which use 2.1.30. Loading the 3c59x module seems to work, because the module correctly recognises the board. It then prints the following messages:
3c59x.c:v0.30-all 12/23/96 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3Com EtherLink III: Overriding PCI latency timer (CFLT) setting of 32, new value is 255. loading device 'eth0'... eth0: 3Com 3c900 Boomerang 10Mbps/Combo at 0xd400, 00:60:08:12:4d:ef, IRQ 12 Internal config register is 10302d8, transceivers 0xe138. 8K word-wide RAM 3:5 Rx:Tx split, autoselect/10baseT interface. Which is okay (I think), apart from the fact that the used interface is really the AUI. Then I run /etc/init.d/network, obtaining these messages: eth0: initial media type 10baseT. eth0: vortex_open() InternalConfig 010302d8. eth0: vortex_open() irq 12 media status 8800. eth0: Media selection timer tick happened, 10baseT. eth0: Media 10baseT is has no link beat, 80c0. eth0: Media selection failed, now trying 10base2 port. eth0: Media selection timer finished, 10base2. eth0: Media selection timer tick happened, 10base2. eth0: Media 10base2 is has no indication, 4810. eth0: Media selection timer finished, 10base2. I would have expected a word about the AUI interface, but there is not. Anyway, if I now try a ping to a numerical IP address, I get sequences of: eth0: Transmitter access conflict. and, needless to say, no response to the ping is received (so I assume nothing is getting out of the card). Anyone has any idea of what's happening? Donald, are you listening? Thanks to all Francesco -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
