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.
