Hi,
I'm running an HP NetServer L4 with what appears to be an Intel chipset
motherboard and 1998 vintage BIOS. I'm trying to run SuSE 7.1 Linux on
it. The 2.2 kernel provided with the distribution works fine. The 2.4
kernel
eepro100 driver cannot seem to correctly locate the two NICS in the
system.
Here are listings of the kernel driver messages and the output of
eepro100-diag
in the two different environments:
FOR KERNEL VERSION 2.2.18

No interrupt sources are pending.
The transmit unit state is 'Suspended'.
The receive unit state is 'Ready'.
This status is normal for an activated but idle interface.
The Command register has an unprocessed command 0c00(?!).
