What is interesting though is that the machine produces interrupt errors which only occur when the card is active: CPU0 0: 110545371 XT-PIC timer 1: 2 XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 3: 35665 XT-PIC ohci1394 4: 4314949 XT-PIC eth2 8: 4 XT-PIC rtc 12: 87125964 XT-PIC eth0 14: 6035586 XT-PIC ide0 15: 6986897 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 LOC: 110544807 ERR: 10905 MIS: 0 And this is this output of the driver at initialisation: r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 1.2 loaded PCI: Found IRQ 4 for device 00:0d.0 r8169: PCI device 00:0d.0: unknown chip version, assuming RTL-8169 r8169: PCI device 00:0d.0: TxConfig =3D 0x800000 eth2: Identified chip type is 'RTL-8169'. eth2: RealTek RTL8169 Gigabit Ethernet at 0xe093ff00, 00:08:01:a3:64:97, IR= Q 4 eth2: Auto-negotiation Enabled. eth2: 1000Mbps Full-duplex operation. --=20 Servus, Daniel --=-rOQzZHKZ5sJxy6aYhxlI Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iQEVAwUAQBQZtDBkNMiD99JrAQL3VQf/bOTSz8pxGxULvVpodEb6j0oXco11Bxcg 9N3VYagNbGIuDJE5cxPnme7tTCQ5zImO7CJR7KsLNJQuK4Q4Dn/u8TcBZY75OnJb XDsbqEWqgOtJ1z2LYltuByIYbZaLKUjTfPDqzK5a3dPy8L2deP3R04dIP6jZZ4QO dTiv329GGVWCYX9dvV+yQqVEwfOzzPyx1PYgbFGP7tcyuUEh/VpnJE+bEwzDdScq Lr2V4p2ff8g7BQoFLRJoy9UyL6AYjkGXX4UCvrpjjMyQyXesMjKiRWkMbwmaEkKT 8I3TcYI/uLCgo/mf2q5DCaN0T8jBoEOlH2rpaygSO84DHCjuZvT4Ww== =4AVz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-rOQzZHKZ5sJxy6aYhxlI-- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
