I recently compiled my own kernel for my ThinkPad 755 CX. I am using =
(trying to use) a 3C589D card to access the network. When I use =
kernel.GENERIC to boot, I have access to the network on zp0. When I boot =
with my kernel, card and socket services are found, and ep0 is loaded =
(very late in the boot sequence, after ifconfig tries to configure it), =
but I cannot use the network. I have used ifconfig to configure zp0 and =
ep0 with the network information. When booting with my custom kernel, =
ep0 is located and returns "ep0: utp/bnc[*UTP*] address =
00:60:08:8a:c7:85" but it doesn=92t pick up the ip information from =
rc.conf. Ifconfig =96a returns "ep0: flags=3D8802<BROADCAST, SIMPLEX, =
MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 00:60:08:8a:c7:85", but no ip information. =
Doing an ifconfig to assign an ip address and netmask after I am logged =
in does not help. Is there any way to force pcic and the PCMCIA card =
drivers to be loaded earlier in the boot sequence? Would this help? =
Recompiling the kernel is not a problem if necessary. Any ideas?
