Hello, I think I've got some IRQ issues with 3com 3c509TP ISA ethernet card on Mandrake 9.0 beta.
I have installed linux as dual boot. I've got Nortel 1Meg DSL modem hooked up to my ethernet card. On PC my ethernet card is recognized and works very well at IRQ 9, I/O: 0x#300 . However, it is not recognized at Linux: 1.) HardDrake (a h/w probing tool at Mandrake) can not detect my ethernet device!? 2.) Device drivers are installed properly, eth0 is there when I do "ifconfig", I can ping it, shows up as up and running. Tx packets are incrementing when I do "adsl-connect", but Rx never increases... I see "Timeout on PADO packets" log after a while. It might be my ISP not responding to my connect request at all, but I could not see any activity on my DSL modem's LEDs when I start the "adsl-connect". So, I am more suspicious about an internal problem, probably an IRQ conflict? I think my ISA ethernet device is set as IRQ 9, and another PCI device is overwriting this setup. I have checked /proc/interrupts, IRQ 9 never increments, but other IRQ's are incerementing every once in a while. What's going on here?
