On a system running SuSE SLES7.2 (2.4.7-19) with an Intel EtherPro 100 and a 4-port Adaptec Quartet66 card, I'm running into a problem where the network on the EtherPro works just fine, but none of the networks on the Adaptec work. The starfire driver loads fine and recognizes all 4 ports, based on the following output in messages: Aug 19 10:49:31 lsca0133 kernel: starfire.c:v1.03 7/26/2000 Written by Donald Becker <becker@scyld.com> Aug 19 10:49:31 lsca0133 kernel: Updates and info at http://www.scyld.com/network/starfire.html Aug 19 10:49:31 lsca0133 kernel: (unofficial 2.2/2.4 kernel port, version 1.03+LK1.3.3, July 05, 2001) Aug 19 10:49:31 lsca0133 kernel: eth1: Adaptec Starfire 6915 at 0xf8d18000, 00:00:d1:ef:f8:bd, IRQ 17.
