Re: PCMCIA ne2000 compatible Ethernet card driver

[Javier Steinaker]

Hi again, and sorry for the delay.
We (well, you, really) are more close to the solution.
The card isn't working, but the kernel now shows:
ne0 at pcmcia0 function 0: <PCMCIA LAN, Ethernet, A,
004743118001>
ne0: can't match ethernet vendor code

I also tried to modify the line
+product RELIA RE2408T { "PCMCIA&spLAN", Ethernet",
"A", NULL } Relia RE2408T ethernet adapter
by
+product RELIA RE2408T { "PCMCIA&spLAN", Ethernet",
"A", "004743118001" } Relia RE2408T ethernet adapter
... but the result is the same.

I think the solution is close to us, but... I cannot
find it. Ideas?

Greetings,
Javier

I'm not sure it's closer than before. It couldn't find the ethernet address
while before it didn't even check it (if I read the code properly).

Can you add some printf() to ne_pcmcia_attach() to see what's going on ?
The interesting part if between again: and the last 'goto again'.
it should enter the (ne_dev->flags & NE2000DVF_DL10019) if, and
call ne_pcmcia_dl10019_get_enaddr(). Either ne_pcmcia_dl10019_get_enaddr()
didn't work, or it didn't return the mac address we expect.

You could also try changing {0x00, 0xc0, 0x0c} with {0xff,0xff,0xff} in
the PCMCIA_CIS_RELIA_RE2408T entry.
