Re: [S.u.S.E. Linux] 3Com Ethernet Card Problem

My setup is V5.2, and everything has installed OK, except the 3Com 3C509 card. The system has failed to pick it up. I recently spotted the suggestion of performing a direct scan using modprobe:
modprobe 3c509 io=0x300,irq=10
The resulting message was:
/lib/modules/2.0.33/net/3c509.o: symbol for parameter io not found
This error message also appears on the bootup screen, and has appeared consistently from the initial install.
I've checked the obvious - the system has a DOS partition, so I've booted from DOS and configured the card using the 3Com utilities, both before and after the install. It runs through the hardware tests OK. The card is attached to a Warp Server LAN, but obviously it hasn't been integrated software-wise into the network. I'm pretty certain that the hardware is not defective.
Anyone have suggestions as to the next move.
Oops .... I'm astonished that you get problems with this type of card. I thought that the driver is very well tested and developed. I've never had any problems with 3com cards. But anyway, have you already tried to compile the driver into the kernel ? What produces more /var/log/boot.msg ?? My output is: <4>eth0: 3c509 at 0x300 tag 1, 10baseT port, address 00 20 af e1 49 60, IRQ 5. <4>3c509.c:1.12 6/4/97 becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov -- Regards Marius Augenstein -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCM/E/TW d- s-:- a-- C++ UL/O++++ P+ L+++ E--- W+ N K- w O- V PS+ PE+ PGP t+ 5+ X+ R+ tv+ b+ DI D+ G e++ h r++ ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
