Hi Jochen,

Thanks for the tip, which looks promising.

I'm no longer in a position to try it out, since I
had to exchange my D-Link DFE-650TX for a working
card (incidentally, an AnyCom ECO Ethernet 10/100,
which worked right out of the box).

But the idea should be useful for anyone who is
struggling with one of the newer DFE-650TX
cards. In particular, it suggests that these newer
D-Link cards are not identical to the older
ones. (One of our older ones had a hw_addr of
00:80:C8:42:95:E9; the addresses of your FA410TXC
card and my newer DFE-650TX both start with
00:E0:98:77.)

In addition to the hardware addresses, your error
messages certainly look similar to mine.

just wanted to repeat that Anthony's tool works with the D-Link DFE-650 card.

Question: Where to add fa_select in the startup process

Hello,

I had to fiddle some time to get my DFE-650 up and running. Now, after I tried fa_select, unloaded pcnet_cs and restarted it, it workes fine.

But I wonder where I can fiddle it into to PCMCIA-startup-process. I don't know if I can run fa_select before/after pcnet_cs.

Is there any "official" way without messing up all the startup scripts?

Thanks in advance!

There is a better way now

The "official" way is to use the current PCMCIA driver package, which
fixes the problem inside the pcnet_cs driver, so the fa_select program
is unnecessary.

Ok: Success at last ...

After a lot of fiddling around with my SuSE distribution (which is really not so bad, but has the disadvantage, that the startup process is somewhat different than for example RedHat) everything is working well.

The problem really wasn't the driver (as I thought first), but the inconsistencies in the startup process.

Thank you very much Dave!
