problems with IRQs (isdn and ethernet)

Message-ID: <3A41136C.976CCB59(a)datosred.com> Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2000 21:15:41 +0100 From: Manuel Martínez Valls <mmartinez(a)datosred.com> Subject: problems with IRQs (isdn and ethernet) Hi, I'm trying to configure and ISDN card on a SuSE Linux 6.4 box and I have problems with the IRQs. The problem is that I've a 3COM 3C905B NIC with IRQ=10 and io=0xdc00, and a Dynalink ISDN card with IRQ=10 and io=0xda00 and I'm not able to use both cards at the same time. I've tried to unload the 3c90x.o module as the SuSE documentation recomends (to test the configuration) and the isdn card works, but then I'm not able to use the ethernet. I've tried to change the BIOS configuration, but both cards always get the 10th IRQ. Any idea? Thanks in advance, Manu

I can ping both my ip and the remote ip, but nothing beyond that. I then tried wvdial and presto it all works fine. I had a look at my log files and found this when I use kppp. ---cut--- Dec 16 23:26:11 fsck pppd[1779]: not replacing default route to eth0 [***.***.***.***] Dec 16 23:26:11 fsck pppd[1779]: local IP address 155.239.150.37 Dec 16 23:26:11 fsck pppd[1779]: remote IP address 155.239.150.254 ---cut--- However, when I use wvdial, I get this. ---cut--- Dec 18 08:34:33 fsck pppd[233]: replacing old default route to eth0 [***.***.***.***] Dec 18 08:34:33 fsck pppd[233]: local IP address 155.239.146.26 Dec 18 08:34:33 fsck pppd[233]: remote IP address 155.239.146.254 ---cut--- eth0 is the gateway ip for my pc. Routing seems to be the problem here, but why? Why does it keep routing through the eth0 device and not the ppp device? I changed the options in kppp to so many different combinations, yet nothing helps. Any comments/hints welcome. -- l8r ./Jasper " If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you!

I will *try* to get this one right for you though :-). This is just a guess and if anyone has a more certain answer then listen to them. With the append command in lilo these are thrown straight into the kernel. Without knowing specifics of each case it could be that they either had not setup both NICS properly and resorted to the append command to fix it. They could have the modules built into the kernel itself, which would mean modules.conf would be next to useless. Or they have an older NIC that needs special parameters that need to be passed direct to the kernel before it fully boots. Lots of reasons for why :-). And I bet I have not covered them all. Also, hope that covers my earlier mistake, of which I apologise profusely.

I also removed qt-1.45 and cleared on the env vars. Then I installed Qt-2.2.2 with full graphic support and installed KDE 2.0 using SuSE's ftp files and install sh. KDE 2.0 has been rock stable for me. I don't recall a single crash or lockup while using it. I, too, have downloaded KDE 2.0.1 but didn't have time to install them. But, since KDE has announced yet another update I'll probably bypass KDE 2.0.1 and try KDE 2.1.
