We installed 2.1.0-951005-SNAP via ftp using the card and all worked fine. However, when the new system rebooted, it said that the ethernet address was unknown. Further probing and debugging reveals that the card seems to contain a DC21041 chip rather than a 21040. The initial unknown problem was due to yet another PROM layout (ether address at offset 20, but only 32 bytes altogether). I fixed this and got a little further but am now getting trap faults. Before going any further (and while I compile a debugging kernel), I want to check if anyone else has one of these new SMC cards or has solved the 21041 support issue. A hint as to why the boot floppy works might help a lot. -- Alan
