Message-ID: <20030328145159.GA4265@werewolf.able.es> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT X-Mailer: Balsa 2.0.10 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 3537 Lines: 68 Hi all... I have just switched the network card for my internal network from a 8139 to a 3c905C-TX/TX-M. The 3c59x driver gives the buggy FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF hardware address for the adapter. I had heard about the problem and looked throug LKML archives, but they just point to a non existen web page. I use 2.4.21-pre6+aa. What happens ? Any solution available ?
