I had some strange problems with my Intel EtherExpress Pro/10 ISA (i82595TX chip). The card stopped working after about 15 minutes. The Rx LED did still blink but the card didn't response. It was some sort of "disabled". I loaded the module with autodetect=1 when I had this problem.
I tried two things to make this card working properly: 1. Set IRQ and I/O manually and don't use autodetect=1 (with the softset2.exe utility from the Intel website) 2. Use the newest eepro module (the one in Dachstein IS NOT the newest version of the eepro.o module) Unfortunately, I did both points without a break between. I did not test the card after the first point was done, I did both points and then I tested the card. So I can't definitively say which point solves the problem. But now, the card IS WORKING without problems. So if anyone had or will have problems with this type of card, consider doing the two points above to solve the problem. The source code from the newest eepro module is available from: http://www.cathedrallabs.org/~aris/patches/ I compiled it for Dachstein and will make it available (in about 1h) at: http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/sminola/files/modules/eepro-013.o Please rename the file to eepro.o before using it. "-013" stands for version 0.13 while the normal Dachstein contains version 0.12b. --- Sandro Minola | LEAF Developer (http://leaf.sourceforge.net) mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.minola.ch | http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/sminola - My PGP key is at: http://www.minola.ch/pgp/sminola.asc --- _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
