It loads, and the MAC address is visible with arp, but nothing comes in
or goes out.
The only error messages I can see in the logs are:
Jul 15 11:21:40 localhost network: Bringing up interface eth0:
succeeded
Jul 15 11:21:41 localhost kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed
out
Jul 15 11:22:13 localhost kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed
out
Jul 15 11:22:13 localhost kernel: eth0: Out-of-sync dirty pointer, 0 vs.
17.
Jul 15 11:22:29 localhost kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed
out
Jul 15 11:22:37 localhost kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed
out
Jul 15 11:22:37 localhost kernel: eth0: Out-of-sync dirty pointer, 16
vs. 33.
The problematic version:
#define DRV_VERSION "0.9.15-pre6"
#define DRV_RELDATE "July 2, 2001"
Whereas version 0.9.15-pre5 (June 16, 2001) works fine.
Just a heads-up, in case someone else with a DEC chip NIC gets bitten by
this.
