Hi there,
I am having problems getting a network adapter going. I should see
eth1-eth4 from this adapter, but they do not show up with 'ifconfig -a'.
'alta-diag' and 'lspci' show the four NICs, which is what confuses me. I
even added some printk's in sundance.c to find out what happens, and as
far as I can see, the NICs get enabled - so why don't they show up for
ifconfig? I've tried both 2.6.19.1 (SMP) and 2.6.20-rc3 (both UP and
SMP) in addition to the 2.6.15-27 kernel of Ubuntu 6.06.
I have attached outputs from 'alta-diag', 'dmidecode' and 'lspci -vvv'
in the hope that someone might be able to give me a hint at what is
going wrong. I have searched the LKML archive and Googled and not found
anything related. :-/
Any hints or help appreciated.

No message from the sundance driver in dmesg ?

That is all that turns up (I stripped out the iptables messages that was
not relevant to the driver) at the end of the dmesg output. I have
checked the driver against the lspci output, the driver has the correct
PCI ID's in there, so this driver *should* work. In the past, it *has*
worked, but that was on a older kernel (2.6.8 or thereabouts).
If there are patches or tweaks to the driver, I am willing and able to
test them.

No datapoint beyond 2.6.12 ? It would make thinks easier (for you :o} ).

Compressed patch attached. Apply with patch -R and see if it behaves
differently. No warranty.

Unfortunately the adapter has been sitting idle in an antistat bag for
some time, and last time I used it was with a Debian Sarge install. I
can try some older Ubuntu LiveCD's (will take some time to download
though) and try and get a point in time where it works.

Many thanks for the patch. Applied to 2.6.20-rc4, built as K7-SMP, but
unfortunately it behaves no different compared to stock 2.6.20-rc4. If
you have any other ideas, I am game for some testing. Meanwhile, I'll
grab some LiveCD's to get data-points.
Cheers!
