I have some questions:
Q1: Is there a mailing list for the via-rhine driver?
I couldn't find one. The URL in the driver:
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/via-rhine.html
doesn't exist, and sending a "lists" request to this
majordomo server doesn't list anything related to via or
rhine.
Hopefully, some of you might know the answer to my problem:
Senario: I have an IBM PC 750, Model 6887-YAE, with a
Matrox Millennium card and a D-Link DFE-500 card, working
without any trouble with the tulip.c driver.
Now, we have received new cards from D-Link, DFE-530TX. They
require the via-rhine.c driver, also written by Donald Becker.
If I insert this board instead of the DFE-500, I can't get it
to work in Linux. It works in win95 using the new driver.
I have:
a: Made a new kernel with the via-rhine.c and the tulip.c driver. This
is kernel 2.0.36. The board isn't recognized during boot.
b: I've tried compiling it in the kernel or as a module, no difference.
c: If I insert both the DFE-500 and the DFE-530TX they both work!!!
d: I have tried shuffeling the Matrox card and the D-Link card around
(they
are the only boards installed in the system), still the 530 isn't
recognized.
e: The version of via-rhine.c in the 2.0.36 kernel is identified as:
via-rhine.c:v1.00 9/5/98 Written by Donald Becker
However, it differes as follows between the latest via-rhine.c
downloaded
from the ftp site:
diff ftp-via-rhine.c kernel-via-rhine.c
515c515
< static int via_rhine_probe(struct device *dev)
--- > int via_rhine_probe(struct device *dev) 517d516 < printk(KERN_INFO "%s" KERN_INFO "%s", versionA, versionB); 525a525 > static int did_version = 0; /* Already printed version info */ 527a528,530 > > if (debug > 0 && did_version++ == 0) > printk(KERN_INFO "%s" KERN_INFO "%s", versionA, versionB);Strange, isn't it?

Any suggestions???
