Intel Pro/100 S Dual Port NIC and Linux
Hi, Is there anyone out there who is currently and successfully using the Intel Pro/100 S Dual Port Server Adapter (NIC) with Linux. I've been trying to get it working first under Kernel 2.4.19, then Kernel 2.4.18 (thinking that 2.4.19 was too new and therefore not supported by the driver on Intel's website). I haven't been able to get the whole card working successfully. Sometimes I get eth0 working and pinging out to the outside world, but then it crashes - so bad that it halts the system and I have to do a cold boot. If anyone has had any luck with this adapter, any help would be appreciated. Also, anyone has any luck with the 3Com Dual Port Adapters? Never used them myself, but if they work any better under Linux than the Intel cards, I would be inclined to consider. Many thanks, Bobby -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, basically it just halts. I can do nothing but cold boot the computer. No error messages, nothing. What driver did you use exactly? I am actually trying to get this card working on an IBM XServer 300 Series (1 U Rack mount) machine, running Debian. But as a testing machine here at my office, I'm using a simple Athlon K6 450 mhz machine, and a cheapy motherboard from Pine or something (VIA Chipset), that supports other cards (including Intel cards) under debian. The driver that I am using is the one off of Intel's website, the e100 driver. When I tried to get this driver running under Kernel 2.4.19, I would get kernel panics, but with 2.4.18, it just halts.

I'm currently running it on RH8.0 with 2.4.18 something, forgot, just did the kernel upgrade today... i love those rpm's : )... ** gene J.

Here is my current system configuration. BTW, I was able to $ modprobe e100 and $ ifconfig eth0 to get this machine online just now, but if I do the same with eth1, the system will most likely halt.
