Hello again,
Perhaps this won't be taken as a newbie question.
I have a Cabletron E2142 network card. The primary media is Fiber, the
Secondary is BNC. Linux detects the primary media just fine on boot.
All the tweaking in the world won't get it to detect secondary.
In /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/e2100.c, I have tried changing the
definition of E21_ALT_IFPORT (as per the comments, that's only help i
could find), to values such as 0x00, 0x01, 0x03, and 0x04. None of which
work for secondary media. In fact, they all still detect primary.
Something I'm trying while waiting for a response from the gurus on this
list is changing that value to something along the lines of 0x10, 0x11,
0x12, or something like that.
It is imperative that I switch from Fiber to BNC. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
Ron.
