Re: 3c90x woes
The 3c59x module works for me, but I keep getting errors like this logged: eth0: Transmit error, Tx status register 82 So I decided to try the 3c90x driver from 3Com, but it doesn't work for me. I compiled a module and get this when I load it: # insmod 3c90x Using /lib/modules/2.2.15/net/3c90x.o # tail -1 /var/log/messages 3Com 3c90x Version 1.0.0i 1999 [EMAIL PROTECTED] # lsmod | grep 3c 3c90x 22636 0 (unused) # /etc/init.d/network SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable Note the `unused' bit in lsmod output.

Back to lilo, when you install a kernel_image*.deb it asks you about setting up lilo.conf. I've always edited lilo.conf myself and so don't know what the automatic stuff does. Maybe it'll manage multiple kernels for you? You'd have to try it or perhaps someone else can step in here and tell us... Gary

Re: 3c90x woes
what i do: download the kernel source from ftp.kernel.org download the 3com driver from www.3com.com inside the 3com driver is a kernel patch , i believe its called path-2.2.5 or something, it works fine up to 2.2.16(what im using). patch the kernel by copying the file to the source tree (usually /usr/src/linux) and run patch -p0 patch-2.2.5 then configure the kernel you want to turn on support for: 3c90x/3c980 B/C series Cyclone/Hurricane/Tornado support it is located under network devices| ethernet(10 or 100mbit) compile the kernel(make sure to configure the rest of it) and install it reboot. if you need more help with kernel stuff let me know or i can send you a binary module for 2.2.16 if your using 2.2.16 nate then configure the kernel On Thu, 27 Jul 2000, Raphael Crawford-Marks wrote: raphae I've installed Potato on a machine with a 3c905c-TXM PCI card.
