[SuSE Linux] PCI NE2000 ethernet adaptor and 2.035 kernel
Hi, I have my pci Realtek 8029 card working fine under Suse 5.1 . I am happy with this distribution and am waiting for 6.0 to upgrade. I did download the new 2.035 kernel just to get fat32, and in menuconfig some basic changes were made to the pci ne2000 setup. First there is a separate entry for PCI NE2000, whereas in the 2.031 kernel I used "Other ISA cards". To be brief, I have the card working as displayed with cat /prov/net/dev . It shows eth0; however during bootup, I get a single "No SIOAFFADDER" (spelling?) It is almost as if the kernel tries to find the card twice? So, which of the make menuconfig are to be selected for a PCI NE2000 clone such as the Realtek 8029? It's a minor problem, but error messages irritate me, ---a symptom many of you probably experience. zentara - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

I had my Realtek 8029 working under 2.0.35 and many other kernels. In 2.0.35 I chose NE2000 PCI leaving everything else out. I am not sure about "No SIOAFFADDER" error... Maybe you compiled support for a different card as well and now it reports an error while trying access the non-existent card???? alexm - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
