Hi all,
Still no luck in getting a Xircom NIC working properly. :o(
Can anyone suggest anything else that could be investigated?
Hardware/Software:
- REM56g-100 Xircom Realport NIC & modem PCMCIA card
- HP Omnibook 7150
- Linux 2.4.21
- Debian
- pcmcia-cs and xirc2ps_cs driver
- 10Mbit hub or 100Mbit switch
Symptoms:
- TX Carrier frame errors when using SMB
- SMB connections to fileserver freeze & time out
- FTP of large files also freezes
- web and email seem to work OK
Things tried:
- A Xircom CE IIps NIC works just fine with the same xirc2ps_cs driver
- upgrading pcmcia-cs (Debian testing version)
- Moving it off IRQ 3
- Moving the IOports around (apparently some Omnibooks don't work with defaults,
0x300-0x30f is the default)
- Getting another REM56g in case the hardware was faulty
- Kernel upgrade/rebuild (from .20 to .21)
Ta,
Antti
