Howdy all,

I have a notebook with the 82562ET ethernet controller in it. From
reading through the mail archives, I've noticed there's a been a fair
bit of trouble with this chipset. These problems seem to be revolving
around an SCB timeout, which would suggest the card is actually being
detected. And therein lies my problem :-)

I've tried forcing the IRQ for the card, as well as leaving it auto.
Unfortunatly, my bios doesn't contain a "non pnp os installed" option,
so I can't try that. No matter what I seem to do, the card is just not
detected.

At the moment my only thought is the version I'm using, 4.0-RELEASE.
Unfortunatly, I only have 56k connectivity, and the closest shop I can
find that carry later newer versions is quite a few hours from me.
Before I embark on a journey to upgrade, I'd like to know if anyone
has had experience with this chipset under 4.0, so I can decide wether
the problem is my machine or the driver. On browsing the cvsweb, I
noticed a commit rearding this chipset to if_fxp.c in -stable; should
this work without an issue on 4.0?

Any insight on this problem would be much appreciated. Please cc me, 
as I am not subscribed to the list.
