Greetings! I am having some problems with the pcnet32 driver that
lead me to believe that it is in fact the driver's fault. I have no been able to
get the driver to work for me on any of the test releases of 2.4.0 or the final
release; however, 2.2.18 works flawlessly.
I load the driver as normal, I modprobe it, and activate it, and I can
get it to do absolutely nothing.(I have tried compiling into the kernel as
well). There are no errors on the screen or in the logs, and, as far as
I can tell, there is no problem at all. However, I am unable to ping anything -
it loses every packet, but still with no errors. The link light on the back of
the card also does not come on.
I have a Diamond 1mbps Homefree PCI PhoneLineNetwork card. The
/proc/pci entry for the card is :
Bus 0, device 11, function 0:
Ethernet controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c978 [HomePNA]
(rev 81). IRQ 3.
Master Capable. Latency=198. Min Gnt=24.Max Lat=24.
I/O at 0x1080 [0x109f].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xf4000000 [0xf400001f].
In my /var/log/messages, the pcnet32 driver output is:
pcnet32_probe_pci: found device 0x001022.0x002001
ioaddr=0x001080 resource_flags=0x000101
eth0: PCnet/Home 79C978 at 0x1080,<6>00<6> 90<6> 00<6> 02<6> 98<6> 9b<6>
pcnet32: pcnet32_private lp=c27fd000 lp_dma_addr=0x27fd000
assigned IRQ 3.
pcnet32.c:v1.25kf 26.9.1999 tsbogend@alpha.franken.de
(Sorry if I mangled the output on that one a little)
There are no IRQ conflicts of any sort, and, as I said, this card works
flawlessly under 2.2.18. I have checked my /proc/interrupts after activating
the card, and it has detected the card correctly(PCnet/Home 79C978)

P.S. I -=have=- upgraded to all the correct versions of software, and any other
output you may need from any other commands, I'd be happy to give you.
