I created a patch that allows pcnet32 adapters sold in IBM RS/6000 systems to be recognized in non-ppc computers. The problem is that the Vendor ID of this adapter is incorrect. There is a ppc specific workaround to get it working on that architecture (checkout http://lxr.linux.no/source/drivers/pci/pci.c?a=ppc#L102 for the workaround), but it obviously won't fix the problem in non-ppc architectures. --- /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/pcnet32.c 2003-12-02 12:45:27.000000000 -0600 +++ pcnet32/pcnet32.c 2003-12-15 11:15:50.000000000 -0600 @@ -58,6 +58,10 @@ static struct pci_device_id pcnet32_pci_tbl[] = { { PCI_VENDOR_ID_AMD, PCI_DEVICE_ID_AMD_LANCE_HOME, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, 0 }, { PCI_VENDOR_ID_AMD, PCI_DEVICE_ID_AMD_LANCE, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, 0 }, + /* Adapters that were sold with IBM's RS/6000 or pSeries hardware have the incorrect + * vendor id in non-ppc hardware. + */ + { PCI_VENDOR_ID_TRIDENT, PCI_DEVICE_ID_AMD_LANCE, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_CLASS_NETWORK_ETHERNET << 8, 0xffff00, 0}, { 0, } }; Thanks, Jon Mason jonmason@us.ibm.com Software Engineer Phone:(512)838.4162 Linux eServer I/O Fax: (512)838.3509 - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
