Hi Gary,

First try: "modprobe tulip" and post the results, will see...

There has to be some hardware glitch, and I haven't the ability to check out the LinkSys board. The errors I get when trying to install the tulip module say:

"Device or resource busy"

This is exactly the error you get with the old driver -- get ahold of the latest drivers from Donald Becker -- apparently LinkSys has several different totally different cards on the market all being sold with the same name -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

I got this same card to work with the stock driver from suse 6.4. had to reinstall to get it to work but it works. There ware 4 different chipsets out for this one card. I had to get a different set of drivers for mine to work under windows. I got 20 of these cards for work with the same chipset but the drivers disk was not right. if yours is the one with wake on lan capibilties then you need the delta driver diskett i think if i remember ritght. jack At 11:05 PM 8/5/2000 -0400, Mark Gray wrote:

Sure doesn't sound too reassuring! I've rpm-installed the latest driver(s); now will find something on howto rebuild and install a new kernel. Worse-case: SuSE 7.0 is right around the corner. gary

This is interesting because I fetched tulip.c 3 hours ago. Rebuilding that and wrapping it into the kernel should be fairly simple. If you gents figure this out, I'll be here:) gary

There were some problems with the tulip driver. Somehow, some fixes were applied to the tulip kernel driver, but were never given to Donald Becker. I suggest you download the latest tulip driver from Donald's site:http://www.scyld.com/network/tulip.html Mark Gray wrote:

Yes, same Becker's _www.scyld.com_ site, as the one that Mark Gray posted previously in this such a long thread, thanks, Bostonian boy, for the additional info and reassuring. Ohh, this [Genius] Donald Becker!! =`8) Coleman, Becker and Young mixed heavily at Scyld Computing Corporation, fiiuuuu... that hurts!!??!! =:`)

I have been looking trying to benchmark my 10/100 with my laptop, also with a LinkSys 10/100 PCMCIA card. I also have a 10/100 switch. The switch shows both at 100Mbps, both full duplex, but when I run netperf, I don't see anything approaching over 10Mbps. Throughput is generally well under 10. I would expect a throughput will over 10Mbps on this system. I very well could be that I have one or the other drivers configured incorrectly. My options on the desktop are: options tulip full_duplex=1,0,1 debug=0 My laptop is currently bagged for work. Has anyone been able to benchmark the Linksys Etherfast 10/100 over 10Mbps? Or is it just another 10Mbps card that can live on a 100Mbps network. -- Jerry Feldman Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

Depending on the machines transfer from/to I have gotten 9.8MB/s using ftp. That is from a 600Mhz Athlon (Linksys Etherfast) to a 300 Mhz AMD K6II (3com509). I am not setting any options for the tulip driver. It screams compared to 10Mb/s -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
