They work fine with both 2.4.23 and 2.6.3. Before replacing the cards I had also tried switching the 3C905A's to different PCI slots and changing the irq's in the bios, neither action fixed the problem with eth1 failing in 2.6.3. I also tried swapping the A revision for the B revision of the card, this also didn't work with 2.6.3. Finally, I took the two 3C905A's and put them in an older computer with a 440LX chipset and set it up identical and it DID work with 2.6.3. This leads me to believe that the 3c59x driver doesn't like something about my motherboard/chipset. Anyway, the SMC's work. - : 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
