Hi, I got my hands on a Texas Instruments ThunderLAN PCI 100 Mbit card (PCI ID 104c:0500), which is what SGI are supplying if you want a second NIC in your O2. It appears that this card is not supported by the tlan driver in the Linux kernel (at least not in 2.4.29, which is what I am using on the machine I tried it on). Patching the driver with the relevant PCI IDs allowed the detection of the card, as shown in dmesg:
ThunderLAN driver v1.15 TLAN: eth0 irq=15, io=8400, Compaq NetFlex-3/E, Rev. 48 TLAN: 1 device installed, PCI: 1 EISA: 0 and in "ifconfig eth0": eth0 Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:58:01:55:53 (and the rest of the normal stuff) but trying to configure the interface with an address and bringing it up caused a kernel oops. (This is on Alpha.) # ifconfig eth0 inet blah... up Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00000000093fcb04 Segmentation fault In dmesg, there is an ifconfig(4218): Oops 0 followed by a register dump, a trace, and some code.
