I'm not really sure how to interpret this message in this context, and I haven't seen it before. You're using a somewhat uncommon choice of kernel (2.2.6)... which makes me wonder if there is something odd about your kernel configuration, but I'm not sure how that could cause this problem. -- Dave

register_netdev( ) failed: try again Re: Note: This is an unusual message (David Hinds) Date: 1999, Nov 25 From: Al Charpentier Charpy

David, this is the kernel that comes with Slackware v4.0. I have noticed that Slackware v7.0 is now available (skipping 5.0 and 6.0). I intend to upgrade the PCMCIA support version from 3.0.9 to 3.1.x (as sugggested by Nathan). IF that doesn't work, then I will get Slackware v7.0, which uses kernel 2.2.13. To the best of my knowledge, it appears to be a IO Port or MemoryAddress or even IRQ problem. I have tried various settings, and have basically received the same error.
