I've seen many many queries about trying to install the 3com 3c509b card, but none have resulted in a solution. Using the NIC configuration program under dos i've turned off PnP, and assigned all the different irq/base combinations i can. Under linux (rh71) ifconfig says it's happily up and running, finding the asigned irqs etc... i can ping the card on the machine, but not from another. a dmesg gives:
eth1: Setting Rx more for 0 addresses eth1: Setting Rx mode for 1 addresses This happens on each apm suspend, or network restart aswell.Is there a little trick i've not been told about???? thanks chris |
In your dmesg do you also see the following:
Code:
eth0: 3c509 at 0x300, 10baseT port, address 00 a0 24 92 b4 09, IRQ 11. Code:
eth0: Setting Rx mode to 1 addresses. Make sure that the card in configured to be in 10baseT mode and not BNC (10base2). The 4 in the Memory section from ifconfig tells you that. The startup string in dmesg (above) will also indicate which mode it's in (10baseT). Code:
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:24:A3:70:57 http://www.scyld.com/network/3c509.html |
don't look much better...
Thanks for the help, but it's all set up rightm, according to ifconfig:-
The working card, RTL8139: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:44:02:B2:EE inet addr:10.0.0.2 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:240278 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:249782 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:11 Base address:0x800 and the 3c509: eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:24:50:28:E2 inet addr:10.0.0.3 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:13 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:5 Base address:0x320 everythigns the same, and I get the other bits in my dmesg as you said. This card works under win2k, and i have the same problem under rh71 with this card (from 95) and another 3c509 (from 1992). Thanks chris |
