This seems like an incomplete solution. Shouldn't you also increase =
the
size of the 'full_duplex' and 'options' arrays? The code from the 1.06
version (from kernel 2.2.14) has these definitions:
=20
static int full_duplex[] =3D {-1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1};
static int options[] =3D {-1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1};
=20
Shouldn't these be increased to be at least as large as the maximum
pci_index? I also noticed that 'pci_index' has been removed from the =
driver
in the latest 2.3 kernel (v1.09j+LK1.0).
=20
Who is the current maintainer of this driver?

Thanks,
John Cagle

You have to odify the driver for that:=20
Line 569 of the eepro100.c should look like:=20
for (; pci_index < 8; pci_index++) {=20
Change the number 8 to the number of ethernet controller you have...=20
Follow instructions at the end of the file to recompile the module.=20
Follow instructions at =
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/misc/modules.html
<http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/misc/modules.html> to install it.=20

Does anyone know if the eepro100 driver will support more than 8 =
interfaces
in one machine? For instance, could you have 5 dual-port cards working =
at
the same time? On another topic, has anyone noticed that the
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov <http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov>
/linux/drivers/eepro100.html site doesn't seem to be working? However, =
if
you replace "cesdis" with "beowulf" it works!? Problem is that the =
site has
a lot of hard-coded HREF's to 'cesdis' that still won't work. =
