I have a 486/66 with an SMC EtherCard PLUS Elite 16 (SMC WD8013EPC). It worked flawlessly with 2.1.7.1-RELEASE and 2.2.2-RELEASE. When I tried to do an FTP install of 2.2.5-RELEASE I kept getting machine lockups after the installer logged in and starting downloading the first tar file. Following a suggestion from Doug White on -questions I was able to get 2.2.5 installed by using the 2.2.2 boot floppy. I was then able to take a look at if_ed.c to see what was causing the problem. It seems sometime after 2.2.2 a change was made to turn on the 0 wait state option on 16 bit cards. This is what's causing the lockup with my particular card. If I remove the "| ED_WD_LAAR_0WS16" from line 744 then all is well. Does this point to a deficiency in the ed driver or my hardware? Thanks, Phil Gilley pgilley@metronet.com
