this seems to be pretty normal.
everything works fine until you try to activate this smc card to work as the eth1 interface -- there's no difference trying device eth0 for the card.
restarting the network (to enable eth1=smc) results in a hanging machine which is not only dead on the console, but also doesn't answer pings nor is reachable via telnet. you have to reset the machine.
***my question now is: did anyone successful use this card under (suse) linux?***
i tried to use this card on a power mac with netbsd -- no problem there... because it's a pretty good card, i think ;)
What kernel version do you use? I think the driver is not ready for ppc. Can you try the lastest 2.4.5 beta kernel, the epic100 driver was changed on 20. April. Maybe we should contact one of the authors to fix it. Its a good sign that it works with netbsd. http://penguinppc.org/~olaf/beta/k_deflt-2.4.5-0.ppc.rpm Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
