Hi there,
Sorry if it's a FAQ. (If so, where can I get it?)
I am hving problem making 3COM 509 working.
Here is what I did:
1. make sure it's using irq 10, port 300, no iomem, as it's probed;
2. after reboot, enable interface ep0
ifconfig ep0 ip-address netmask 255.255.255.0 up
after that, I checked the interface is now available and up
3. route add default gateway-ip-address 1
4. netstat -rn to check the routing table;
I can now see the routing table gets updated right after the
interface was up. That means it is talking to my local network
already. Great! I can ping myself. However I cannot ping any
other machine. The error message is either "host down" or
"no route to ..."
I recall it is said that 3COM 509 is buggy. Did I miss anything?
Has anyone made 3COM 509 working? If so, any advice?
Thanks a lot!
