Hello!

I have some ethernet cards (only one for pc, not more) based on 8390 chip,
the driver is loaded correctly but cards don't transmit any packet. How can
I resolve?

Thanks

there was a few cards based on that chip, common ones were the ne2k,
smc/wd. The 8390 module is an engine for that chip only, you need the
other part of the driver to properly run it.

I have an Acer here with an EtherExpressPro 100Meg NIC. No drivers with the
kernel, but either Acer or Intel provide a driver that you load as a module
(independant of the kernel compilation).
