hello marcus, in fact it seems to be very difficult to get a non-apple ethernet device working under ppclinux... a few weeks ago i tried to to this on both my 8200/120 (was my server) an my beloved g4; i tried to get these cards running: * SMC EtherPower II (aka 9432TX, on the x86 BSDs and Linux it runs VERY fine using the 'EPIC 100' driver) * Farallon with DEC 'Tulip' Chepset (i.e. the 2104x) the 8200 has 64 meg, the g4 has 2048meg RAM. the onboard eth's of both machines work fine (that's the point: the 10mbit of the 8200 is not very useful for servers... ;-) trying to address the NICs led to i) nothing (NIC was'nt addressable, no errors were shown) ii) a hanging machine (no kernel panic, no errors; machine halted, had to be resetted by the button...) after posting this to several lists (not also SuSE but debian etc.) there were plenty replies of people also trying to get such a device to work but with little or no success. no solution for this 'til now, i guess (so now my sun play server :-( greetz, timo
Hi
I bought a Farallon 10/100 ethernet card for my PowerCenter 150 (w/G3 card) this weekend. It works great on the mac side, but doesnt connect on the linux side.
I know the card is being recognized as eth1, but when I tried different routing combinations, I still could not get a connection. I am using the 2.2.16 kernel and Suse 7.0.
Cheers
MARCUS
