The only change that might have broken 4.5.6 NI6510 probing is the #if 1 in lance_probe1. This is about the only real change I made in the lance driver. It is supposed to be correct if one reads the data sheet, but Racal Interlan has a long story (fortunately now closed) of wrecked designs around perfectly working chips. Try to change it back to the original version and see if it finds the card again. Then someone with a NI6510 should find out why the DMA probing doesn't work (hint, hint) - the Linux and/or Net/Free/OpenBSD drivers are usually a good source of working (but usually quite lengthy) code. =========================================================================== This Mail was sent to netboot mailing list by: Klaus Espenlaub <espenlaub@informatik.uni-ulm.de> To get help about this list, send a mail with 'help' as the only string in it's body to majordomo@baghira.han.de.
