SMC Elite Ultra Message-ID: <mvhDwvCLA.Lur@netcom.com> Organization: NETCOM On-line Communication Services (408 261-4700 guest) X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL1] References: <mvhDwuIyq.80s@netcom.com> Date: Wed, 28 Aug 1996 22:17:34 GMT Lines: 33 Sender: mvh@netcom17.netcom.com Followup - I recompiled the kernel with bpfilter, ran tcpdump, and the interface is alive, though every byte is repeated. I assume that this is because the OS thinks the card is in 16 bit mode when it is in 8 bit mode. How do I toggle this? I don't have any docs for the card, and can't find any for the driver specific to this.

Any pointers? Thanks in advance.
