We are trying to connect multiple computers using firewire for a high speed network, and are having a some problems with the driver. When I load the driver on the first machine it can see all of the machines on the network. I used 'testlibraw' to check. Now when I load the drivers on the next machine 'testlibraw' reports that it is the only machine on the network, but 'testlibraw' on the first machine now shows comm between the two. Then when I try to load the drivers on the next machine, it has the same problem as the second machine, but now the second machine can see all of the nodes on the network. The keeps happening as I load the drivers on other machines. So is there a way to get the last machine to see all the computers on the firewire network? I am attaching the testlibraw output I got.

For some reason, the ohci driver sometimes doesn't work properly on the first 'insmod' after hardware reboot... have you tried to load it again a couple of times and see if things are improving ? -- Sebastien Rougeaux RSISE, The Australian National University |

Well first off I am using the pcilynx driver, so I don't think that is the problem. I might have put down the wrong card in my previous email (could not remember the exact card). I did try your suggestion, but it did not work, testlibraw still does not see any of the nodes on the network. Thanks. Judd Tracy jt...@is... |
