All the problems are now more or less resolved... -- the failures in the 3c575_cb driver's error handling code are partly fixed in 3.1.7, and fully fixed in the 16-Dec-99 beta drivers. I still do not know what is causing the initial error (a HostError is supposed to be a PCI bus protocol problem, according to the 3Com documentation), but now, it is handled gracefully without disrupting network activity. -- the Xircom card problem turned out to be an IO port conflict with another system device, that the Linux kernel had not detected. A note will be added to the HOWTO, that ports 0x300-0x31f should be excluded on the Versa LX. -- Dave |
