Date: 6 Oct 1996 21:23:00 GMT Organization: Real/Time Communications Internet customer posting Lines: 32 Message-ID: <5397vk$ct0@news3.realtime.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: ecpi.com X-RTcode: 7a94833a323484bd4458230f X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Hi, I have ASUS's motherboard P55T2P4, with 64MB memory and SC-200 SCSI controller. I am running 2.1.5 . I am trying to install SMC 8416BT network card. I am having this problem only with the ASUS's motherboard. I can use the same card with the other motherboard I have without any problem. When I try to use it with ASUS's motherbord I get following message on the console when I try to ping the machine which has this SMC card. ecpi /kernel: ed1: NIC memory corrupt - invalid packet length 4864 On the ASUS's motherboard when I run CMOS setup there is an option called "PNP and PCI SETUP" in there I can set the ISA MEM block BASE address: I am specifing 0xd800 with the block size of 16K (even though 8416 uses 8K). I am also specifing the IRQ used by the card (IRQ 5) in the CMOS setup. I have confiured the SMC card with folloing I/O Base address: 280 IRQ; 5 RAM address: D800 Any idea what could be wrong in the setup? What does the error message indicate? Thanks for your help.
