Exclamation xircom_cb vs. xircom_tulip_cb for REM56G-100


Hi,

I'm running:
(uname -srvmo) Linux 2.4.19-16mdk #1 Fri Sep 20 18:15:05 CEST 2002 i686 GNU/Linux

...on a Dell Latitude CPxH500GT w/a Xircom REM56G-100 pcmcia 10/100/56k card. Currently, eth0 is working fine @ 100BaseTx with the xircom_cb driver installed as a module (lsmod below)

However, due to some special circumstances on my LAN, I need to force a 10BaseT link. Unfortunately, it seems the xircom_cb driver has no configurable options. So, i decided to remove the xircom_cb driver (cardctl eject; rmmod xircom_cb), then attempted to install the xircom_tulip_cb driver with it's 10BaseT option. Here's the output:

[root@albatross /]# insmod xircom_tulip_cb options=1
Using /lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/drivers/net/pcmcia/xircom_tulip_cb.o.gz
/lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/drivers/net/pcmcia/xircom_tulip_cb.o.gz: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg

syslog entries:
Dec 25 21:20:36 albatross kernel: xircom_tulip_cb.c derived from tulip.c:v0.91 4/14/99 becker@scyld.com
Dec 25 21:20:36 albatross kernel: unofficial 2.4.x kernel port, version 0.91+LK1.1, October 11, 2001

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ian
