Hi,
Did this ethernet card work in an older kernel? The card type
detection
in mac8390.c is partially based on guesses and just trying different
cards, as I remember. It's possible that it's detecting the wrong
type,
particularly since it isn't finding all the NuBus ROM resources it is
expecting to be present on this card type. I suspect that it's not
accessing the card correctly. Both the error messages are that the
card isn't in a sane state based on what the driver tried to do.
The 'mismatched read page pointers' I've seen on the EtherNEC 8390
based card
as well, it seems to indicate that the receive buffer overruns. I'm
using a
timer interrupt there, so that is expected to happen.
Might 'trigger send called with tx busy' also indicate a failure to
receive the
txdone interrupt? Maybe you're not getting any interrupts from the
card? What
does /proc/interrupts register regarding the 8390 driver?
under linux, 2.6.29 I get:
mac 57: 74 8390 Ethernet
I attempt to ping a host, which fails, then it says:
mac 57: 86 8390 Ethernet
