Hi,

Anyone successfully using Intel's EtherExpress 16 network card with Linux?
Even the card is found at bootup and the irq/base address are correctly
found, the link light is still off. I had replaced a 3c509 card and it
worked( ping and ftp other hosts), so I believed I had configured the
network correctly.

I also found the message "SIOCARDRT: Network is unreachable" at startup.
It is generated by the "route add default gw ..." line in rc.inet1.
Any idea how to fix it?

Thanks.

: Yup. 5 of them. BNC connected.

: Did you tell the card to use UTP? I found that setting the card on
: autodetect
: is less than satisfactory

The card was originally set to auto-detecting the interface, now I set it
use the AUI instead and it works! (UTP didn't work.)

Thanks.
