Hi Folks, I have some trouble while networking with my Intel Linux PC and my Mac with Linux. Hardware: PowerMac 5500/275 64 MB RAM, Network Adapter Sonic in CommSlot. Linux: SuSE Linux PPC 6.4. After loading the network-card dirver while bootup (tulip.o for cards with DEC 21041 chipset) the network in running, but after a while the connection breaks. I think it's a problem with the module. This is a shirt piece of $ dmesg: [...] tulip.c:v0.91g-ppc 7/16/99 becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov eth0: Digital DC21041 Tulip rev 33 at 0x400, EEPROM not present, 00:4C:69:6E:75:79, IRQ 22. eth0: 21041 Media table, default media 3d3d (Autosense). eth0: 21041 media #1, 10base2. eth0: 21041 media #0, 10baseT.

After changing to runlevel 2 again the network is running ... for some time. I've tried the old tulip driver (old_tulip.o) but it's not loading. Thanks, Alexander
