Problem with Compaq NC3131 dual eth card

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a Compaq NC3131 dual 10/100 ethernet PCI (64/32 bit) card.
Neither the e100 or eepro100 modules work (with FC1 updates kernel
2.4.22-1.2135.nptl.athlon).

The e100 module prints:

************************************************************************
Intel(R) PRO/100 Network Driver - version 2.3.18-k1

divert: allocating divert_blk for eth1

and unloads itself immediately.  The eepro100 module prints:

It will load and let me configure the devices.  If I force it to a
different MAC address (reusing the MAC from eth0 and moving the wire to
avoid ARP problems), it seems to work, but I shouldn't have to do that.

Is my card defective or is this a compatibility problem?  Is there a way
to fix this?

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
