I have what appears to be a Lite-On ethernet controller, which is supported
by the tulip driver. What it really is, is a Asante FriendlyNET card. I had
heard that the card works in 2.2.14+, but I'm having trouble getting it to
work in later kernels (devel).
Because of the network driver interface change, I can't try out the newest
tulip driver in 2.4pre. Does anyone know of forward-ported tulip drivers?
The particular error I'm seeing only happens with moderate load -- pings and
other light traffic work 100%.
Error information:
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1: transmit timed out
Transmit timed out, status e4660000, CSR12 000050ca, resetting...
Device information:
tulip driver output:
eth1: Lite-On PNIC-II rev 37 at 0x1c00, 00:00:94:C5:EF:FF, IRQ 30.
lspci -vv output attached because it's too wide.
Any ideas?

I don't understand what you mean here.

A tulip driver exists in the 2.4pre kernel. Are you having problems
with that driver?

IRQ 30? Is that ok for PPC?

Yes, actually there are systems that are not limited to 8 IRQs cascaded
into another 8 IRQs ;-))
Seriously, IIRC, desktop PPC systems have at least one interrupt
controller with 32 IRQs. Some even have more... or more controllers.
