I have a problem with my ethernet card setup. I just compiled a 2.1.98
kernel, and when the computer boots I get the message "NE*000 ethercard
probe at 0x340: failed to detect IRQ line". I also have a 2.0.31 kernel
compiled (which I'm using to write this), and the ethernet card works
fine. I'm using a RedHat 5.0 distribution install. Is there anything I
can try to make the card work? Thanks in advance.

Is your card set up with its memory at 0x340? The default IO address for
NEx000 (so far as I've seen, anyway) is at 0x300. I'd try telling linux to
use 0x300; I'd be willing to bet that fixes it. Check the ethernet
configuration parameters for your 2.0.31 kernel - if 0x300 (or anything not
0x340) make them match.
1. Problems with SMC Elite16 Ethernet Card (not a newbie question)
I have some problems with a SMC Ethernetcard. It seems not to be a newbie
question. When ftp from our University down to my home box via an ISDN-Link
I get a performance of 7 kb/secs but when I ftp from my home box to our
University I just get a performance of nearly nothing. Many packages
seems to get lost. When I look at the hashes I see about 11Kb transfered and
then waiting for a long time (timeout??) then another 11Kb will be
transfered and so on. I've got the following configuration:
386/40 Mhz 16 MB Ram
Adaptec 1542B
ET4000
SMC Elite 16 IRQ 15, 280, D0000-D3fff
AST-4-Port IRQ 5
Serialcard with 2x16550
Serialcard with only the parallel ports in use
Linux 0.99.10
net-2
Can anyone help ????
Regards
Marvin
