I have rougly the same experience. I had my Xircom RBEM-56G-100 working nicely under RH 5.1, running 2.0.36 and pcmcia-3.0.14. Everything worked, both 10 and 100 MBit, as well as the 56K modem. I even managed to poke some friends' eyes out with my setup :) Then I upgraded to Mandrake 7.02, with a custom 2.2.14 kernel, and patched pcmcia-3.1.14 in. That worked, but only for a short period of time. When downloading a big file (my homedir.tar wich is rougly 600 megabytes) onto my laptop I got these errors in var/log/messages: kernel: tulip.c: outl_CSR6 too many attempts,csr5=0x600e8002 And after a while (after downloading 100-200 megabytes) the download would stop and had to be restarted with an ifdown; ifup. And the modem refused to work, to even be initialised. I haven't done anything with /etc/pcmcia/config.opts, because the settings I had on my old setup (standard config, with enlarged window) worked nicely. I then downgraded to pcmcia-3.0.14 and upgraded the kernel to 2.2.15, wich produces the same errors in /var/log/messages. However, the card doesn't seem to stall after a while. But the modem still refuses to work. I understand that there are a whole lot of issues to be solved with this card for it to work properly. David: if you read this, tell me what information I can give you concerning my card, apart from actually sending it to you :) I don't mind fsck-ing up my setup, as I currently have another setup on my laptop wich allows for this card to work, so if you want me to run software wich can crash my computer / eat my /, that's fine with me. As long as you get the information you want :) Is there any way I can check the internal revision level of this card? Oh: and thanks for all the work so far! Bas |
