Well I have tried just about everything that I know (which isn't saying
much) to get my Farallon Fast EtherTX 10-100 card working in linux. Works
fine in Mac OS. Latest attempt was to compile the de4x5 into the kernel and
then as a module. Also did the same with Tulip. When i try insmod to load
the module i get the device busy all the time. I can ifup eth1 and it seems
the inteface is up and i can pin it from the machine i am working on but not
from any other machine on my network plus i cannot ping any other machine
from it. I have tried the card in all of the slots same outcome.

  Anybody got any words of advise?

I am running a stock Powermac 8500av with YDL CS 1.2.1 kernel version 2.2.17

Thanks,

Barry
