Hi folks,
I decided to upgrade the kernel on a machine at home from 2.2.18pre21 to the latest from kernel.org which is 2.4.19.
However I have encountered one problem, my network card now dosent work, well kind of dosent work...
Instead of one eth0 on IRQ 10 I now get:
Aug  4 11:31:51 mira kernel: eth0: 3c5x9 at 0x220, 10baseT port, address  00 10 5a 3e 0e 48, IRQ 5.
Aug  4 11:31:51 mira kernel: 3c509.c:1.18 12Mar2001 becker@scyld.com
Aug  4 11:31:51 mira kernel: http://www.scyld.com/network/3c509.html
Aug  4 11:31:51 mira kernel: eth1: 3c5x9 at 0x300, 10baseT port, address  00 10 5a be 0e 48, IRQ 10.
Aug  4 11:31:51 mira kernel: 3c509.c:1.18 12Mar2001 becker@scyld.com
Aug  4 11:31:51 mira kernel: http://www.scyld.com/network/3c509.html
This results in the interface(s) coming up but while packets can go out they can not come in.
I've tried not loading the 3c509 mdule on bootup and then `modload 3c509 IRQ=10` bit it still gets loaded as above, on IRQ 5 and 10. On 2.2 it loads to IRQ 10.
Anyone got any suggestions on what to do here? Its a debian 3.0 distro. This works fine when booted to 2.2 so the hardware/BIOS etc seem ok, so it seems to be 2.4 spacific. Have I missed some kernel setting?
Cheers,
~Al

Nice to hear that somebody else does this too.
