Hello everyone, I have this problem:
I get "PROM address does not match CSR address" from the pcnet32 driver
I have an AMD pcnet PCI ethernet card.
I recently upgraded my kernel from 2.4.1 to 2.4.3. At boot, I get the
"PROM address does not match CSR address from pcnet" error.
My network card address is 00:C0:DF:62:62:FF. However, after I powerup my
computer, the CSR address is FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF which causes the 2.4.3
driver to fail the is_valid_ether_add check. If I boot 2.4.1 and reboot
2.4.3, it still doesn't work. However, if I boot the 2.4.1 kernel and
transmit any amount of data (I ping another computer on my LAN) and
reboot with 2.4.3, everything is just fine until I shut down my
computer. It seems the CSR isn't properly initialized until some data is
sent.
What should I do? Remove the is_valid_ether_add check from every kernel
from now on?
when everything boots ok :
pcnet32_probe_pci: found device 0x001022.0x002000
ioaddr=0x009100 resource_flags=0x000101

otherwise(I added a few printk to get the CSR address):
