Anybody get this working with 2.2.18 or 2.4.0-prerelease? I can't seem to get the on-board 3c905c to work.

Everything except the NIC works?

I've seen it without an interrupt assignment in /proc/interrupts. With Red Hat's pump (DHCP), it sends packets out but doesn't seem to see the response.

What do you mean with "without an interrupt assignment"? Is there no line for ethx in /proc/interrupt, or the number of interrupts remains 0?

what does lspic -vxx say about the interrupt number?

Is there a BIOS setting similar to "Pnp aware OS"? For the 2.2 kernel that must be "No", 2.2 might run with "Yes", but I'm not sure if the 850i board is supported.

There is no entry for eth0 anywhere in /proc/interrupts. That seems strange.

lspci -v says IRQ 11, which is what the BIOS says. This is also what I see in dmesg when eth0 is found.

I'll look into this.

Thanks.
