Very Computer

There is also no activity on the indicator lights on the card next to
RJ-45
adaptor.
I also get an
"Unknown PCI device. PCI Vendor Id=6, PCI Device Id=14"
at boot.
The card works fine with Win95.

I appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance.

When upgrading to RH 3.0.3 w/ 1.2.13 the kernel was unstable, lots of
compile errors that didn't look good after applying the patches.  So I
upgrade to 1.3.75 with no major problems, expect getting the latest
procps-99a and things are back to normal.

With the 1.3.x kernel, I get the same error message as above.  
I even try the patch but didn't have much success with it.
However, I did have problem with the patch diff file so it
probably my fault that it doesn't work.

You'll have to re-build a kernel to support your specific hardware ...

We had our server running on that card for about 3-4 months. One day,
it would not talk to the network. Card would work fine under OS/2 and
DOS. Not under Linux. Couldn't figure out the problem. Anyways, my
$ .02 worth.

The simplest choice is to use the de4x5.c driver, which is offered as
one of the alpha drivers during a kernel 'make config'.  Select it and
then recompile the kernel.  This driver (v0.241) works with the 21041
chip, but does exhibit problems during large ftp/http transfers.

A more involved but ultimately more reliable choice is to use the
tulip.c driver as patched by Takashi Manabe.  In order to install this
you'll need to follow the instructions (and links to Manabe's patched
driver) given on Greg Seikas' page on the Etherpower 8432:
