Does anyone know what happened to support for the 3Com LOM 3C940 in kernel linux-2.4.22-gentoo-r3? This was available as the sk98lin module in 2.4.20 and works fine for the 3Com 3C940, and in fact it looks as if some of the Gentoo kernel hackers enhanced it somewhat. The code is still in the kernel tree in 2.4.22, and instructions for installing it are still in /Documentation/networking/sk98lin.txt but it doesn't show up in the configuration menus or options.
Apparently this is similar to, but not quite the same as the 3C2000 driver, and some people have reported problems with the driver from the Asus website. There are supposed to be patches for it on the SysKonnect website to fix the problems, but it's been too long since I studied German. The 3C940 is onboard on an Asus P4C800 MB and although I could put a PCI card in the box I'm running short of slots and would rather use onboard gigabit NIC. Any help from anyone here? Should I post an enhancement request to bugs.gentoo.org? I can install a kernel patch if there is one somewhere. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Everything works | PGP public key FMP Computer Services | if you let it" | available at 512-259-1190 | (The Roadie) | <http://www.fmp.com/pubkeys> http://www.fmp.com | | -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
