[parisc-linux] EISA network card "INP0500" (aka A4308-66001) in a 735/99

[Jan-Benedict Glaw]

Hi!

I had some time these days and installed my 735/99. Booting off an
external CD-Writer the "first" part was quite easy.

However, it seems neither of the two network cards (FDDI interface on a
slider card and an EISA "INP0500" network card) seems to work :(
Currently, I'm using the box with ppp over a serial cross cable...

I found one posting
(http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2003-April/019647.html)
of someone who seems to own the same box and a reply
(http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2003-April/019648.html)
of Matthew who claimed to either have this (or a similar) card working.

Matthew, is there currently a somewhat working driver for this card? I'm
now using current 2.6.x CVS.

Thanks, JBG

PS:
Here are the interesting EISA parts of dmesg's output:
