- I am trying to configure 3COM 3c503 to work with our 10BASE-T network.
- The driver source code (if_ec.c) says to set bit 7 of the minor device number
- to enable AUI port. But I can't figure out which device corresponds to the
- 'ec' driver. If I have to create the device, what major number should I
- use?.
- I have put printf debugging statement in ec_init (which does the BNC/AUI)
- selection and ec_ioctl (which calls ec_init for cmd = AF_INET) routines in
- if_ec.c. None of these two routines seems to be getting called either during
- start_up or while trying ping. Is it because there is no corresponding
- device in /dev present? If so, why there is no 'no such device' or similar
- message?
- I know nothing about networks, I must be making some silly mistake.
- Please help.
- Thanks in advance.
