Ciao This card is really weird. I experienced that with io=0x300 and IRQ=10 the kernel driver is loaded but not a single network tool works, not even ping. I had to use IRQ=11 to get connected with the outside world. Maurizio Il dom, 05 mar 2000, Dennis Soper ha scritto:

I always compile the 3C509 into the kernel. Try using the module without parameters & let it autoprobe (this is the only way to get it working using an installation kernel).........
I'll try that-- I just need to get it talking on the network long enough t get to out kernel mirrors site (I *like* working for a university).
Just re-read this. Are you trying tp pass "parm_io=0x300" for instance? THis should be "io=0x300" without the "parm..."
That's the odd thing, as I expected to find an error such as above in the config file. I will say that I use 3com cards pretty much exclusively at work, and I've had *lots* of trouble using them with SuSE-customized kernels.

Hi all,
I went to set up a Samba print server today using 6.2. The box is an AST p90 with 24MB RAM. I put a 3com509 in the box and when I rebooted, I got the following message:
/lib/modules/../3c509.o invalid parameter parm_io
and the module failed to load.
I looked in /etc/conf.modules and found: alias eth0 .... options 3c509 io=0x300 irq=10
as I configured it. I rebuilt the kernel and it didn't fix it. Neither did changing the card. Plug-n-pray is turned off and the card is configured at io=300 and irq=10.
Anyone have an idea of what's wrong here? The card is a 3com509b TPO.
