Question: Unsupported Tulip card only works with DHCP 

Forum: PCMCIA Network Adapter Issues
Date: 2000, Mar 18
From: Mike McDonald <mcdonald@aeac.org>

I've got an unsupported Intel 21142/3 based 10/100 PC card that works fine using the tulip driver as long as I configure it using DHCP.

When I configure the card manually, it won't work until I reset it by issuing a "ifconfig eth0 down up". The only problem is that when I do this, I lose the default route.

My guess is that pump is somehow resetting the card when it configures it.

I know the card isn't supported, but I'd still like to use it if possible. Is there an easy way to force the card to reset without losing routes?

Thanks,
Mike

If you want to delete messages (the default), specify that here. If you want to move messages, you need to delete the original messages; placeholders will be left pointing to where they were moved.

Delete Messages
