Running 2.2.5-RELEASE on a 486dx2-66, NE2000 clone (SimpleNet SN2000CT)
as network board.
I usually have
Jan 11 09:57:28 dodo /kernel: ed0 at 0x300-0x31f irq 10 on isa
Jan 11 09:57:28 dodo /kernel: ed0: address 00:40:05:1c:24:e0, type NE2000
(16 bit)
in my log file, but today (and once , ~2 weeks ago) my card developed
a case of "memory gain", although flaky:
Jan 12 19:05:54 dodo /kernel: ed0: failed to clear shared memory at d8000 -
check configuration
Jan 12 19:05:54 dodo /kernel: ed0 at 0x300-0x31f irq 10 msize 8192 on isa
Jan 12 19:05:54 dodo /kernel: ed0: address 00:40:05:1c:24:e0, type NE2000
(16 bit)
How come the driver sometimes thinks there's memory, but usually doesn't ?
The doc mentions 16 Kbytes of Buffer RAM size, but it is unclear whether
that is internal to the card hardware or not.
Could there be a problem with the card, the driver, the config of
either, ...?
