PCI cards show up.  SOMETHING will show up...even if it isn't
recognized.  The only exceptions are if the card is behind a broken or
unrecognized bridge.


I tried it in a different PC and the card was shown in the dmesg as a
DGE-560T_2.

So it seems that first PC is a quirky one. Sorry about the bogus FYI.


ah.
ok...there's a reason why a PCI card won't show up, which I have 
experienced, but forgot about...


Apparently, some newer cards require PCI2.2 spec, and many machines of 
your vintage (PII) are only PCI2.1.


I should have remembered this, once spent many hours trying to figure 
out why a PCI wireless card (wi(4) based) didn't show up on the vast 
majority of the machines I have...finally found one computer that it 
worked in...the second newest, fastest machine I had (ok, I got a lotta 
old junk).


Kinda a special case of incompatible PCI bridge, sorta, kinda.

FYI SK(4) D-Link DGE-530T Rev B1 does not appear in dmesg.

2006-06-21 Thread shanejp 
Hello list,

Just an FYI on the B1 revision of the D-Link DGE-530T.

I recently purchased another D-Link DGE-530T and noticed when I got it
home that it is a Rev B1 card, unlike all my others which are Rev A1.
The Rev B1 card is not shown in the dmesg and thus does not yet work.

The chips on the cards are marked with these numbers:

Rev A1: 88E8003-LKJ
Rev B1: 88E8001-LKJ1

The dmesg with the B1 card only lacks the three appropriate lines which
appear for the Rev A1 card when it is inserted in the same PCI slot:

dmesg with DGE-530T Rev B1 is the same but without these:

skc0 at pci0 dev 16 function 0 D-Link Systems DGE-530T rev 0x11, Marvell Yukon
(0x1): irq 11
sk0 at skc0 port A, address 00:11:95:f7:3c:5e
eephy0 at sk0 phy 0: Marvell 88E1011 Gigabit PHY, rev. 3



I noticed while Googl'ing for info on this, that NetBSD has added
support for the B1. Here are links to the entries if it helps at all:

http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/pci/if_sk.c?rev=1.7.2.3.2.9content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/pci/if_skreg.h?rev=1.7content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup


I hope D-Link don't go radically changing chipsets on these cheap sk's
like they have been known to do with their wireless cards.

Bye for now,


Shane

I saved each dmesg to a file and then ran diff to make sure of it before
posting to the list.

I'll try it in some other slots and I'll also see if it works at all under
Windows XP just to eliminate the card.

Thanks,
