Hi,

as my "normal" PC just died and I strongly need it as a router I thought
about adding this functionality to my alpha (digital AlphaStation 500
333 Mhz).

So I got a RealTek NIC from my i386 machine and put in into my alpha
hoping that would work (it would told me this should).

After installing the NIC the boot outputs

"
SLIP: version 0.8.4-NET3.019-NEWTTY (dynamic channels, max=3D256).         =
      =20

    =20
loop: loaded (max 8 devices)                                               =
    =20
Linux Tulip driver version 0.9.15-pre12 (Aug 9, 2002)                      =

8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.2
"

and does not do anything after that.

This was from 2.4.21-rc7, I tried 2.2.25 before and there was a similar
problem:

"

"

=2E. and halts too doing nothing...

Any advice? Do I need some boot parameters?

Regards,
