- I'm all confused about why my system wont recognize the 3C503 ethernet
- board. I see that the probe routine in the sources doesn't print anything,
- but the attach routine does.
-
- Anyway, should there be a /dev entry? How do you figure out the major
- device number for it? Is it a bdev or a cdev? How does all that ioconf.c
- stuff work?
-
- I take it that the driver entry points dont go into the conf.c file, and the
- config command creates ioconf.c, which somehow links into the driver entry
- points through the ecdriver structure (plus something else, but I just care
- about probe and attach right now :-).
-
- But how the heck is the major device number defined? Not that it matters,
- though, as I would think that the probe wouldn't require /dev/ec0 to exist
- anyway.
-
- So, is the problem the IRQ number?
-
- Thanks for your time.
