How did you do that? Here is my experience with 2.6.14-gentoo-r6. Hardware detection works because the sundance driver gets loaded. dmesg: tg3.c:v3.42 (Oct 3, 2005) ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:04:04.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 20 eth0: Tigon3 [partno(BCM95705A50) rev 3003 PHY(5705)] (PCI:33MHz:32-bit) 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet 00:0b:cd:e7:12:bd eth0: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[0] Split[0] WireSpeed[0] TSOcap[1] eth0: dma_rwctrl[763f0000] Linux Tulip driver version 1.1.13-NAPI (May 11, 2002) ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:04:05.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 tulip0: MII transceiver #1 config 3100 status 7849 advertising 05e1. eth1: ADMtek Comet rev 17 at e14a4000, 00:50:BF:A9:AE:02, IRQ 16. sundance.c:v1.01+LK1.09a 10-Jul-2003 Written by Donald Becker http://www.scyld.com/network/sundance.html ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:05:04.0[A] -> GSI 21 (level, low) -> IRQ 21 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:05:05.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:05:06.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:05:07.0[A] -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 22 lspci: 04:04.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5705_2 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 03) 04:05.0 Ethernet controller: Linksys NC100 Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100 (rev 11) 04:06.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 21152 PCI-to-PCI Bridge 05:04.0 Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc DL10050 Sundance Ethernet (rev 15) 05:05.0 Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc DL10050 Sundance Ethernet (rev 15) 05:06.0 Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc DL10050 Sundance Ethernet (rev 15) 05:07.0 Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc DL10050 Sundance Ethernet (rev 15) So it's there. ifconfig shows only the other two interfaces eth0 and eth1 which isn't surprising because the ones DFE-680TX is supposed to provide aren't configured yet. ls /sys/class/net only shows eth0, eth1 and lo. And there it ends. You are saying ifconfig showed all four interfaces of that card. That means you actually got them configured. How? Would you please shed some more light on this? I am under a deadline here and need it to work by Monday. ;-) Uwe -- Why do consumers keep buying products they will live to curse? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
