Hi,
I am completely new to alpha linux and no network expert, so please
forgive me if any of this is too naive. Perhaps it is so well known
that it never shows up in the archives or in many deja vu searches.
I'll describe the problem momentarily, but the thing on the top of my
stack right now is my unsuccessful effort to try to replace the tulip
driver with the most current one. I am unable to compile the driver
because of what appears to be a bug in the kernel (2.2.5 and
2.2.12). FWIW, I am running RH6.0 on a miata. Here's what I get.
In file included from /usr/include/asm/semaphore.h:11,
from /usr/include/linux/fs.h:161,
from /usr/include/linux/capability.h:13,
from /usr/include/linux/binfmts.h:5,
from /usr/include/linux/sched.h:8,
from tulip.c:118:
usr/include/asm/current.h:4: global register variable follows a function
definition
usr/include/asm/current.h:4: warning: call-clobbered register used
for global register variable
Has noone compiled a tulip driver for these kernels? Since the
tulip.c in the kernel sources apparently leads to to a current.h
which is identical, it seems that redhat can. How'd they do that?
Now the original problem. I tried to setup networking as closely as
possible to what I have on an Intel RH6.1 box (which also uses a
tulip card) to get a very simple home network. The Intel box seems
to get along well with a win95 box that I use to pay the bills. I can
see activity at the hub from the alpha, which is apparently arp
who-has requests, but nothing else in the network hears anything nor
can the alpha hear anyone else. Pinging the host under its network
name works ok. It's quite possible that I have overlooked something,
and I'd very much appreciate a hint if that's the case.
Many thanks,
Mike
This is what I have.
