[parisc-linux] Dual NICs on 9000/715, anyone?

[Shane G. Brodie]

Slightly off topic:  I've been fighting with a 715/80 with an EISA 10/100 VG
AnyLan card in it for the last 2 weeks.  I can not get the network to come
up. I have a whole series of issues to resolve unrelated to the network
hardware, but that's another long story ... (the old SCSI CD-ROM doesn't
like CD-RW ... don't have spare CD-R ... disc 2 of my downloaded set is
unreadable - how I wish the MD5 checksums were up-to-date ...  I could set
up dial-up (eeek!) but ...

I don't have have an EtherTwist transceiver for the built-in (and don't know
if it'll work anyway) - can anyone advise me whether or not the the built-in
10-Base-2 Ethernet NIC will work using a AUI-10MB Ethernet transceiver
connected to a Linksys DSL 10/100 router?  (I have a CenterCOM MX10 IEEE
802.3 MicroTransceiver 10-Base-2 - a lot of good that'll do me ...).

Regards

Shane Brodie

EISA DMA isn't working, IIRC.
I don't recall if anyone has published Wax (EISA) DMA docs.
If not, that means someone from HP would have to write it
or get enough detail from someone inside HP to write it.

At one we had a NIC working using PIO (not DMA).
But don't expect stellar performance.
