AW: [Oberon] Networking problems

[Rene Krywult]

Sven,
I checked this out, and while in Windows the values are:
PCI: 2
device: 10
function: 0
I/O-Area: FD00-FDFF
Memory: FFEFDF00-FFEFDFFF
IRQ: 22

In BB the values are:
Bus 2,
device 10,
function 0:
class/rev 02000010,
vendor/device 10EC8139,
status/cmd 02900004
Class: Network controller, Sub-class: Ethernet controller
Vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.,
Device: RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+
IRQ255,
INTA
256B I/O at 0000D400 - 0000D4FF
256B 32-bit memory at EC000000 - EC0000FF

Could it be that under windows automatically a free address space is 
found, while in BB the card's own default is used?

If so: How can I change that in BB (I'd rather not want to set the 
default jumpers differently)

Any ideas how to fix that?

>Hmm... The procedure which tells us that "LinkNotLinked" directly accesses the H/W registers of the network card, so there's really no link (the LED of the network card should also indicate "no link", does it?). Don't bother about other network things as long as you don't see "LinkLinked" instead of "LinkNotLinked".

>In particular, the IRQ line (255) is strange. Seems not correct, but it's directly read from the PCI configuration space of the network card. The driver does not set this number, the card should be configured already before the driver is loaded. On the otherhand, the output on the kernel log is not synchronized, so it's may actually be "5".

>You should have a look at this problem. Execute PCITools.Scan ~ (must be executed under Oberon). It shows an overview of all installed PCI busses and PCI devices in the system. Particullary, it should report the same IRQ and memory base addresses for your network card as the device manager of windows xp does.
