Hi

I tried to use either the SMC Ether EZ (8416)
or SMC 9432 TX (Ether Power II)
under SuSe 6.4
I could not find the driver for the first card. And also the second
listed as experimental did not work neither compiled as a module nor
embedded in the kernel.

Anybody has experience on this

Thanks

I use an SMC Ether EZ card, but it's product number is something like
"1211TX".  It uses the rtl8139 module (shows up in the network devices
when you enable "experimental" code).

I use an SMC EtherEZ (8416) in a TurboLinux system.  It uses the
'smc-ultra' driver, but be sure that the IO and IRQ are set correctly.
I recommend that you get the EEPROM configuration utility from SMC's web
site (it is a DOS utility unfortunately) and set the parameters as you
like.

I also use a SMC card with the smc-ultra module and it definitely wasn't
"set the parameters as you like". If you let the DOS utility selfconfigure
it that doesn't work (or didn't for us). We got them (we have a couple of
them where I work) to run with IRQ 5 at address 240 and something at d400.
But even then it won't work after a warm reboot but only coming up cold.
