[SLE] Use of PCI Network cards
We are trying to setup PCI network cards in a 2.2.16 (SuSE 7.0) system. One system has just the PCI card (3C905), the other has 2 ISA network cards and the PCI (3C59x) card. The ISA cards work fine but the driver for the PCI card doesn't load. We must be missing something along the way. Can anyone give enlightenment on this???

Did you try taking all of the cards out except the PCI card and see if the driver loads then? Also, did you check to make sure that you have the correct settings for the PCI card in the BIOS? I know that I've been fighting with a PCI card for a while but it actually DOES work when the settings are right. ;) Also, check the interrupts that are in use by "cat /proc/interrupts" and make sure that they are actually reflecting the card. Oh, one more thing: after re-boot, do a "dmesg|grep eth" to see what (if anything) is detected by the system for the network card(s... That should probably be the first place to make sure that the PCI card is even detected. HTH! Geordon robertc@mindspring.com said:
