Hello...
I have an ANA-6944A/TX card which works great with the latest
driver (tulip.c:v0.93 11/7/2001) on my linux 2.4.16 system.
With the builtin tulip driver from 2.4.16 it locks the whole
machine when 2 or more interfaces are configured
(ifconfig ethX x.x.x.x) at the same time. The devel driver
from sourceforge (1.1.8) behaves exactly the same.
I had to build the driver as module since the tulip files
are totaly different in the 2.4 kerneltree.
Due to lack of knowledge of the kernel and it's makefiles
i was not able to staticaly build the driver into the kernel.
Did anyone here build the "tulip.c:v0.93 11/7/2001"-driver
into a 2.4 kernel it and can provide me information how to
do this?
The update.html mentions that it's experimental with 2.4.
However i would like to experiment :)
