Install problem SMC etherpower II network card
I have tried to install debian several times and every time it fails, because I can't get connected to the network. I don't have this problem with any other distribution I have tried (redhat, mandrake, slackware). The epic100 driver seems to detect my card properly - a least ifconfig shows the ID correctly. I'm to connect to a LAN network. On start-up I get a message like: device temporarily unavailable network unreachable I'm sure the IP-numbers I gave are correct. Does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong? Jasper
SMC etherpower II 9432BTX ethernet card
Hello ! I have problems with the card mentioned above. The driver for SMC etherpower II cards (epic100) does not work. Please someone tell me if there is a LINUX driver for it or not. I took a look at the web page http://www.smc.com/ftpdocs/nics.html#nics/latest and I think that this chipset is a brand new one. Here is some information about the state of the system. dmesg|grep eth0 eth0: SMC EPIC/100 (chip ID 0005) at 0x1000, IRQ 11, 00:e0:29:30:d6:e4. eth0: MII transceiver #3 control 3000 status 7809. eth0: Autonegotiation advertising 01e1 link partner 0001. ifconfig loLink encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Collisions:0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:29:30:D6:E4 inet addr:152.66.73.171 Bcast:152.66.73.191 Mask:255.255.255.224 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:9 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Collisions:0 Interrupt:11 Base address:0x1000 route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 152.66.73.160 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.224U 0 01 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 152.66.73.161 0.0.0.0 UG1 02 eth0 uname -a Linux tateyama3 2.0.36 #2 Sun Feb 21 15:55:27 EST 1999 i686 unknown I would appreciate any help.

Thanks Please post more information, for starters, the output of: $ dmesg|grep eth0 $ ifconfig $ route -n $ uname -a You may also want to try the tulip driver. from tulip.c: This device driver is designed for the DECchip Tulip, Digital's single-chip ethernet controllers for PCI. Supported members of the family are the 21040, 21041, 21140, 21140A, 21142, and 21143. These chips are used on many PCI boards including the SMC EtherPower series. The epic100.c file does mention support for the SMC etherpower II 9432, but I'm not sure what the BTX means. I would guess that this is the right driver to use. HTH -Dano
SMC EtherPower II 10/100
From the h/w compatible list, I found support for SMC EtherPower 10/100. Does anyone know if the newer EtherPower II 10/100 is supported? If yes, what is the driver and do you hear of any trouble with that card? Thank you very much.

You need to get the driver from http://cesdis1.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/linux/drivers/ and compile it for your kernel. I have one of these cards, but I had trouble with it. I swapped it out for an NE2000 and I'm in the process of returning it to SMC for a replacement, as it seemed to be defective; my machine would crash once day or so before I removed it. The local computer company tells me they've had a lot of defective ones, actually. But I still like SMC, personally. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
Re: SMC EtherPower II 10/100
Thank you very much for your information. Your last comment, however, makes me a little bit confused. I have been using the SMC 10Mbps Tulips base card and they work very well. In the 100Base-TX market, what do you suggest is the more reliable card? Among manufactures like 3Com, SMC and Intel, which one do you think is better to work with Linux? I have several Taiwan made 10/100Base PCI Ethernet cards using in our Win 95 boxes. They perform well and the price is half of the SMCs. It is a real petty that there is no driver to use with Linux!

SMC EtherPower PCI card supported?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hi, I have just looked through the Ethernet HOWTO and the tulip driver page to see if the new SMC EtherPower PCI card (DEC 21041 chip) is supported and have become somewhat confused by the choice of drivers to use. Any suggestions? Is this driver included in the 2.0.27 or 2.0.29 source? If not, is the a good cheap stable card that anyone would recommend? I can replace the card with a GVC NIC 2005 or 2006 (I think one of them is a PCI card). My apologies if I do not seem to have full information, but the computer store that just shipped this box to my department changed the card in the machine from what was written on the invoice (should have been a SMC Ultra). Any help is gratefully appreciated. Cheers, Colin. - -- Colin R.

SMC Etherpower
Hi. Is there anybody that's using Debian and two computers talking to each other through two SMC Etherpower cards, without a hub in between i. e. through a twisted TP cable? Please give me some advice how to make it work! aTdHvAaNnKcSe, Martin S. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
