hello
im having trouble with a netgear ga621, which is a fiber gigabit card
that uses the ns83820 chipset [1]. currently i am using kernel
2.4.9+XFS and the netgear provided driver. i would like to switch to
2.4.16, but the netgear driver does not compile. i presume the problems
with that driver are due to the mm changes in 2.4.10.[2] while the
ns83820 driver seems to load properly the card does not seem to be able
to communicate with the switch [3]. tcpdump does not show any traffic
being recieved by the card.
am i wrong in thinking that the ns83820 driver in 2.4.16 should support
this card?
has anyone else had any success making this card work with the netgear
driver since 2.4.10?
thanks and any help/education appreciated
rob.

Sure, I have it up using the netgear driver version 1.02 on 2.4.16. I
didn't have any problems with compiling the driver against 2.4.16 with
the same options that you list. Previous to this it was working fine on
2.4.11-pre6. The only obvious difference I can see is that you are
using modversions and I am not.

No, fibre is not supported as I've not encountered any test hardware yet.
It shouldn't be much work to get it going, though.

jason-
thanks for your speedy and helpful response. the card is now working
with 2.4.16-xfs and the netgear driver. to be honest i dont know why, i
simply blew away /usr/src/linux and started over.
thanks again
rob.
