Summary: PCMCIA Ethernet + Kernel 2.4.x = false

Initial Comment:
When trying to use any of the precompiled Linux/APUS
Kernels which are avaible for download from here, the
Kernel just stopps and looks for the Ethernet card.

While using one of the older Kernels (2.2.x),
everything works fine except that I can't use
BlizzPPC-SCSI and Ethernet at the same time.

Here is my dmesg output:

Looking for PCMCIA ethernet card

I don't know if this helps anything when conserning
about the 2.2.x problem with BlizzPPC-SCSI and Ethernet:

Subject: BlizzardPPC scsi, anyone?

Hi,

it was pointed out to me that anything necessary to
build a BlizzardPPC scsi
frontent driver to our siop driver can be deduced from
looking at the Linux
code, especially:


        - Zorro ID are 8512/110 (we knew that), BUT
        - base address is 0xf40000, not the one from
Amiga AutoConfig(tm)
        - interupt line is the "ports" interupt (ipl 2)
        - chip is a 53c710
        - scsi clock is 50 MHz.

If anybody want to make this into a driver (you need
the Amiga siop, not the
siop2), please do -- you can mostly steal the structure
of the cbiiisc, but
using the 53c710 calls and includes (like drscsi.c).

Else, if anybody would run alpha tests, speak up, too.

Regards,
        Ignatios
