Kernel is linux 2.6.2; driver version is LK1.1.19. The card is, according to the documentation for the hardware, a 3Com 3c916 in a Dell C/Dock docking station, connected to a Latitude C600 notebook. I am unable to even connect the card to the network; it detects the card, assigns it a MAC address of "FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF" (which I know is bogus), and spits out a checksum error on module loading. I'm pretty much at my wits' end as far as getting this little bastard working, so any-and-all help would be appreciated. Thanks-in-advance! *** Output of 'modprobe 3c59x debug=3': PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 0000:00:10.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 0000:00:03.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 0000:00:03.1 PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 0000:00:07.2 PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 0000:00:10.1 3c59x: Donald Becker and others. www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html See Documentation/networking/vortex.txt 0000:00:10.0: 3Com PCI 3c556 Laptop Tornado at 0xd400.
