Hi Geert,
Works a treat - and gives about 1.5 to 2 fold higher throughput on scp than the 3.0 I used before.
Well, not quite:I have seen the following messages after a while of uptime irq 12: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) Call Trace: [<0004dc86>] __report_bad_irq+0xa2/0xae [<0004dc18>] __report_bad_irq+0x34/0xae [<0004dd64>] note_interrupt+0xaa/0x13c [<2102401c>] atari_ei_interrupt+0x1c/0x24 [atari_ethernec] [<0004cb32>] handle_irq_event_percpu+0x7e/0x110 [<000a6cdc>] load_script+0xb4/0x1d8 [<0009ae0c>] __blkdev_get+0x244/0x34a [<00001000>] kernel_pg_dir+0x0/0x1000 [<000c6668>] ext3_link+0x48/0x124 [<0004cbe4>] handle_irq_event+0x20/0x2c [<0004e258>] handle_simple_irq+0x3a/0x4c [<0004c5be>] generic_handle_irq+0x20/0x28 [<00005e9c>] do_IRQ+0x20/0x30 [<00237970>] schedule+0x0/0x2b6 [<0000275e>] user_irqhandler_fixup+0x4/0x1a [<000028d0>] default_idle+0x0/0x14 [<00002904>] cpu_idle+0x20/0x30 [<000029f2>] kernel_thread+0x0/0x50 [<00236928>] rest_init+0x68/0x6c [<000279f4>] printk+0x0/0x18 [<0031407e>] start_kernel+0x29e/0x2a8 [<00001000>] kernel_pg_dir+0x0/0x1000 [<0031331e>] _sinittext+0x31e/0x9c0 handlers: [<21024000>] atari_ei_interrupt Disabling IRQ #12 Network dead after this; trying to ping out from the Falcon gives: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at net/sched/sch_generic.c:255 dev_watchdog+0x194/0x1c6() NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (): transmit queue 0 timed out Modules linked in: ipv6 atari_ethernec 8390 genrtc [last unloaded: atari_91C111] Call Trace: [<000271fa>] warn_slowpath_common+0x4c/0x64 [<0002723c>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x2a/0x32 [<001ccc98>] dev_watchdog+0x194/0x1c6 [<0002ff10>] call_timer_fn+0x0/0x70 [<001ccc98>] dev_watchdog+0x194/0x1c6 [<001ccb04>] dev_watchdog+0x0/0x1c6 [<0004cb32>] handle_irq_event_percpu+0x7e/0x110 [<0002ff22>] call_timer_fn+0x12/0x70 [<001ccb04>] dev_watchdog+0x0/0x1c6 [<00030082>] run_timer_softirq+0xc0/0x16e [<001ccb04>] dev_watchdog+0x0/0x1c6 [<00001000>] kernel_pg_dir+0x0/0x1000 [<000c6668>] ext3_link+0x48/0x124 [<0004c5be>] generic_handle_irq+0x20/0x28 [<0002b24a>] __do_softirq+0x78/0xc6 [<00237970>] schedule+0x0/0x2b6 [<0002b2be>] do_softirq+0x26/0x2c [<00002664>] ret_from_exception+0x0/0xc [<000028d0>] default_idle+0x0/0x14 [<00002904>] cpu_idle+0x20/0x30 [<000029f2>] kernel_thread+0x0/0x50 [<00236928>] rest_init+0x68/0x6c [<000279f4>] printk+0x0/0x18 [<0031407e>] start_kernel+0x29e/0x2a8 [<00001000>] kernel_pg_dir+0x0/0x1000 [<0031331e>] _sinittext+0x31e/0x9c0 ---[ end trace a81b161261829977 ]--- Unloading / reloading the module makes it work again: ne.c:v1.10 9/23/94 Donald Becker (becker@xxxxxxxxx) <6>atari_ethernec.c 11/10/06 Michael Schmitz (schmitz@xxxxxxxxxx) failed to detect IRQ line.
