I'm having some problems trying to configure my SMC EtherPower
(PCI Ethernet Adapter). Seems like the system recognizes the
card but doesn't know how to handle it.
These are my relevant kernel settings (the ones set to Yes):
Networking Support
PCI BIOS Support
TCP/IP Networking
Dummy Net Driver
SLIP Support
CSLIP Compressed Headers
PPP Support
Western Digital/SMC Cards
WD80*3 Support
EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers
DEC 21040 PCI Support
The last one (DEC 21040) was added after uncommenting the line
in arch/i386/config.in that dealt with CONFIG_DEC_ELCP support.
That was done on the advice of the Ethernet HOW-TO, page 25.
This is making my network tools behave badly (i.e. ping and ifconfig
crash and coredump, respectively).
telnet and ftp are now behaving badly too. Using my slip connection
(established via dip/loopback) I can't ftp or telnet.
Both respond with:
Problem: block on freelist ar 01d4f208 isn't free
sock.c: Look where I am 0<0
I then have to CTRL-C out of the loop.
I'm running Linux 1.3.35.
32 Meg RAM
Adaptec 2940W SCSI adapter
The information I can provide is:

At one point I was getting some info here. But alas,
I broke it worse while trying to fix it!

I would appreciate any hints, advice and most of all solutions! :)
I was able to back up to a kernel I compiled without all the extra
network device drivers and ftp/telnet worked with nor problems.
Let me know if any other info or test is needed.
Thanks!
