Hello, > From: Tomoaki NISHIYAMA <tomoaki@biol.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp> > > According to PAO-FAQ there is some NE2000 compatible cards that require > a flags of 0x10. Yep! This did the trick. It now works ... sort of. (Argh! Since I hadn't used PAO here I hadn't bothered examining its FAQ closely enough). According to the FAQ this forces the driver not to use shared memory. In tests this gives me between 300 and 600 KBps. Is this to be expected via PCMCIA, or should it be faster ?

Hm.... /var/log/messages says: Apr 16 19:53:40 pollux /kernel: Card inserted, slot 0 Apr 16 19:53:50 pollux /kernel: ed0: address 00:e0:98:17:21:de, type NE2000 (16 bit) That looks reasonable, and works, too.

This is 2.2.8-RELEASE without PAO. I thought trying without it first, since I had to install without it anyway. The pao kernel images, as distributed from the pao web site, suffer from the 'malloc wrapped' kzip kernel image corruption problem. Installing from them (via lp0) gave me numerous strange effects like hanging installation, aborted installations, SIG11s and so on. After changing to the standard release floppy I had no problem whatsoever. Is PAO worth installing now that my card works without it ?
