Re: [Etherboot-developers] more on the eepro100 problem

[Christoph P. <chr...@gm...>]

One question:

What type of PC is the card (eepro100) plugged in ?
Is this a very fast PC ? More than 500MHz (700, 1GHz...)

I have found problems with a 2.2.18 Linux driver. Up to a
500MHz machine it works, on 700MHz sporadic problems
were seen, on 1GHz machine and higher, the card will not
work.

The EEPRO100 community of D. Becker never wants to 
discuss the problem and the apropriate changes in 
newer versions. Those knowledge has helped us to
understand better problems handling the eepro100
card, also in etherboot and GRUB.

I hope, I will have time to play around one day
concerning this problem.
