- Hi,
- I installed a 8013 EPC ( western digital ) ethernet card
- and changed the irq 2 to Irq 3 and rebuit the kernel,kernel booted fine
- and it found ethernet controller at irq3
-
- e.g.
-
- we0 ethernet address 00::00:c0:38:c6:42 at 0x280 irq 3 on isa
-
- ifconfig worked fine but I cannot connect/ping to any another
- host on the network,in some earlier posting someone mentioned that
- one has to move vga card to 8 bit slot so that western digital
- ethernet controller can work,I moved my 16 bit vga card to 8 bit
- slot,it still did not work,I changed ethernet card with new one ,it
- still did not work,then I took old kernel and got 8013 EPC card
- it also behaved same way,it is being recognized at boot time,but
- I can do nothing with it,but I can ping to same host .
-
- also card is not recognized at warm boot.
-
- Please help.
-
- Thanks
