 |
|
Hi,
I've installed an arcnet card in my computer:
| Quote: | 02:0a.0 Network controller: Contemporary Controls CCSI PCI20-485D ARCnet (rev 01)
Subsystem: Contemporary Controls CCSI PCI20-485D ARCnet
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 17
Memory at fe7dff80 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128]
I/O ports at cf00 [size=128]
I/O ports at ce30 [size=16]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 1
Capabilities: [48] #06 [0080]
Capabilities: [4c] Vital Product Data |
I've added the relevant kernel components to my kernel, here is the dmesg output:
| Quote: | arcnet loaded.
arcnet: COM20020 PCI support
arc%d: Contemporary Controls
arc%d: PCI COM20020: station 00h found at CE30h, IRQ 17.
arc%d: Using CKP 64 - data rate 2.5 Mb/s. |
But I cannot find the arc0 device.
Is there a way to create it?
Do I follow the same procedure as in the handbook for creating eth0?
Thanks in advance.
Update:
After trying the following to add the adapter | Quote: | # cd /etc/init.d
# ln -s net.lo net.arc0
# rc-update add net.arc0 default |
My computer would lock up (or wait indefinitely) for the device to start.
X would freeze.
I could still ping the machine's ethernet port, but ssh logins would not complete.
It also seemed to prevent changing to a different tty by pressing <CTRL><ALT><F1>
I had to press the reset button, boot with a livecd, and undo my addition 
Anybody know how to get the arcnet card working?

It appears I was wrong; the arc0 device IS present, it just doesn't show up if I type 'ifconfig'

However, if I type ifconfig arc0, I get this:
