ADAPTEC 6944 A/TX PCI 4 ports 10/100 Mbps

[Thomas Parvais]

Hello !

I'm trying to install a Adaptec 10/100 Mbps 4 Ports PCI ANA6944 A/TX in my
linux box (RedHat 5.1 Kernel 2.1.117).

This adapter is made with 4 Digital 21140 AE chipset and then I compile a
module tulip.o.

I've a 3c590 working properly.

I've entered in my /etc/conf.modules 4 new lines: (the last one)

[snip]
alias eth0 3c59x
alias net-pf-4 off
alias net-pf-5 off
alias eth1 tulip
alias eth2 tulip
alias eth3 tulip
alias eth4 tulip
[snap]

I hoped that the PnP capacity of Linux (Included in my kernel config) would
be suffisent.... But any ports of this adapter has been detected.

I compile your tulip-diag.c and, compile and launch it:

Can you help me ? What should I do to use correctly these "special" adapter
?

Thank you very much !
