i'm installed 4.0, and i'm having trouble getting some of my hardware 
to work. the most pressing one is one of my ethernet cards, a 3c595. 
i'm sure that i have it configured correctly, but i just can't get it 
to connect to the network.

# ifconfig vx0
vx0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
         inet 128.211.202.19 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 128.211.202.255
         inet6 fe80::2a0:24ff:fed5:e1d3%vx0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
         ether 00:a0:24:d5:e1:d3
# dmesg | grep vx
vx0: <3COM 3C595 Fast Etherlink III PCI> port 0xe800-0xe81f irq 10 at device
10.0 on pci0
vx0: supplying EUI64: 00:a0:24:ff:fe:d5:e1:d3
vx0: driver is using old-style compatibility shims
vx0: warning: strange connector type in EEPROM.
vx0: selected utp. (forced)
vx0: starting DAD for fe80:0001::02a0:24ff:fed5:e1d3
vx0: DAD complete for fe80:0001::02a0:24ff:fed5:e1d3 - no duplicates found

i have built a custom kernel and have all the unnecessary things 
removed and i've taken out almost all my other hardware. i'm sure 
that it's not a irq conflict with my video card (the only other card 
in the machine), and i'm fairly certain it's not an irq conflict with 
anything else. i would try setting it to a different interrupt, but 
when i tried using the 3c59xcfg.exe DOS utility it wouldn't let me 
change any settings.

i know that the card works, i've been using it for quite some time now.

help?

also, is there any way other than 'dmesg | grep irq' to find out 
which devices are on which interrupts?

thanks,
peter
