Can't get 3C905 to work...?


I have the 2.4.22 kernel, and compiled in support for the 3Com 3C905 cards.

Well, I don't have an eth2 (I already have eth0 and eth1) under ifconfig -a

Anyway, what's going on?

Slackware 9.0 2.4.22
3C509B
3C509B
3C905-TX

Which kernel driver are you trying to load? I have the 3c905B card using the 3c59x.o module. Another thing to look at is your IRQ's (procinfo) to make sure you have an open one that you can use.

well, this pisses me off.

eth0 works just fine
eth1 is listed, but doesn't work (lights on back, but cannot receive DHCP)
eth2 is totally unlisted

AND NONE OF THEM SHOW UP IN THE IRQ LIST!!
