Re: eepro100 detection fail? (and a success story :-))

[arief#]

Dear all,


I've tried Patrick suggestion, go to the BIOS, and after some round, I
finally able to make my NIC stand alone at IRQ-11. But still failed. No
eepro100 detected. 

And tried Adrian suggestion and replace eepro100.c from src/ to dev/
directory, after a lot of fixes of compilation errors, I finally get
that one compiled. But still failed.

And Marco, thanks for your suggestion, but I don't know how to move to
another PCI slot in a thinkpad laptop, yet... ;-)

I even try to hardcode IRQ and PCI address of the card directly in
eepro100.c (in eepro100_init function), I'm not sure I did that
correctly, but that also did not work. Anybody knows how to do that
correctly?

Any other advice?
Or could someone show me the way to Oskit-mach sources without the need
of CVS (my office proxy don't allow CVS access) ?


Thanks for everyone.
Best Regards.
