Hello all :)
I recently acquired an Apricot Xen-II LS, and attempted to use the
onboard i82596 based ethernet adapter, bearing in mind the large
*** Untested on Apricot hardware, and may require some hacking
*** to make it work. The old 82596.c reported hasn't worked
*** since 1.3.xx anyway. I have been unable to find any users

warning at the top of the source. Believe it or not, it's right, it
doesn't work. Upon loading the module, the following is reported:
eth0: 82596 at 0x300, 7C D9 19 C0 40 0C IRQ 10.
82596.c:v1.0 15/07/98
eth0: lp at 0xc17e0cb0, lp->scb at 0xc17e0cc4
The MAC address starts 00 00 44, not 7C D9 19. When eth0 is ifconfiged,
I get this:
eth0: i596_open() irq 10.
eth0: init_rx_bufs 16.
eth0: starting i82596.
eth0: i82596 initialization timed out with status 0000, cmd 0000.
eth0: receive unit start timed out with status 0000, cmd 0100.
i82596 init timed out with status 0000, cmd 0010.
I also get exactly the same responses when the card is disabled in
the BIOS of the machine (and it is disabled, because I have a 3c509b
occupying the same IO space, which can be disabled too.)
(Incidently, I don't have any config utils to adjust the 3c509b's
parameters - is there such a util available, preferably for Linux?)
