Hi,
I'm having trouble getting an Intel 21145 network card working on my Gateway
Profile II machine. I've tried both the 2.2.14 and 2.2.15pre11 kernels. I've
been
chatting with Mark Neill about this, and he suggested I ask this list for help.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
I've verified that it isn't an IRQ problem. lspci reports the device as
wanting
IRQ15, and when I run "pump -i eth0", the device appears in /proc/interrupts
under IRQ15. Prior to this, no one was claiming IRQ15.
Needless to say, pump never suceeds, and I get the error message on my
console mentioned below.
Thanks in advance,
Darin
