I'm trying to get linux to work with the DEC 21143 based network card in
the docking station of my sony vaio laptop computer - so far, without
success. Loading the tulip module works, however I get an error trying to
configure the device using ifconfig.
Here's what the module prints to syslog on loading:
The PCI BIOS has not enabled this device! Updating PCI command
0014->0015.
tulip.c:v0.89H 5/23/98 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
eth0: Digital DS21142/3 Tulip at 0xec00, 08 00 46 01 ad 7f, IRQ 255.
eth0: EEPROM default media type Autosense.
eth0: Index #0 - Media 10baseT (#0) described by a 21142 Serial PHY (2)
block.
eth0: Index #1 - Media 10base2 (#1) described by a 21142 Serial PHY (2)
block.
eth0: Index #2 - Media 10baseT-FD (#4) described by a 21142 Serial PHY
(2) block.
eth0: Index #3 - Media MII (#11) described by a 21142 MII PHY (3) block.
eth0: ***WARNING***: No MII transceiver found!
And the error message for ifconfig:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Try again
The ifconig commands shoul be ok - same command works if pcmcia netcard
module is loaded instead of tulip. Guess the problem is that I somehow need
to force it to use the right physical interface; I tried setting Module
options when compiling the module but didn't have any luck.
Any hints appreciated,
