Hi everybody,

I've been fighting for nearly a week with trying to get my Dell CPx online
with 4.2-R.  I did a cd install but could not get either of the pcmcia
cards I have to work.  I was using both a Linksys PCMPC100 (V3) and a
D-Link DFE-650DX.  I got both to allocate resources properly, but both
would spew "ed0: device timeout" when trying to receive traffic.  (It
appeared they could send fine as I saw DHCP requests when sniffing the
network with tcpdump.)

Finally I stumbled accross a mail which referenced a program called
fa_select.c.  This allowed me to configure the card to negotiate the link
speed/type properly.  Happily, I am now working and on the network.  If
the fa_select.c functionality going to be incorporated into the driver in
future releases?  Perhaps fa_select just just be part of the base system?

Url to fa_select.c http://webperso.easynet.fr/fonvi/fa_select.c

Well, thanks for listening to my rant.

Ken
