Hi Christian,

I also changed this line to have 4 underscores at the beginning:

       { 0xec940559, "____alloc_ei_netdev" },

Where does that appear? Can't find it in drivers/net anywhere.

It's in zorro8390.mod.c, but *.mod.c is listed in .gitignore, so it must be
a remnant of my experiments with git and older branches. I wonder why it has
been compiled, though, I did not change any of the Makefiles.

This is being compiled whenever zorro8390.c is compiled as module - do
not change it.

The only symbol exported by zorro8390.c should be __alloc_ei_netdev -
if your above change was done in some symbol exports file it should
probably have been left at __alloc_ei_netdev.

I did none of that, but to be sure, I should build another kernel with
Geert's patch on a clean checkout.

Should not change anything - the .mod.c should be rebuilt when any
dependent file is changed.

I installed a few packages, rebooted to check if the network is set up
automatically (it is!), and installed more packages. Now I am upgrading
some more and I see reasonable download speeds: 140kB/s. However, I also saw
this flying by:

eth0: Interrupted while interrupts are masked! isr=0x0 imr=0x0.

Looks like you're not getting packets off the card fast enough on
receive. I'd have to look at the source to know what the status and
mask register values mean though.

Three times in about one minute. The whole system is a bit more responsive
now (I an log in on a second console without a long delay). I could not log
in with ssh yet, though I get a little bit further than yesterday, there is
some response already from the remote system.

ssh login should work if sshd is up and running, and the network
appears to be working as you describe.

Cheers,

  MIchael
