Description Klavs Klavsen 2003-10-26 13:27:17 UTC
Distribution: Gentoo Linux
Hardware Environment: IBM Thinkpad X20 - miniPCI 3com network:
lspci with 2.4.22 kernel:
 00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c556B Hurricane CardBus (rev 20)

Software Environment:
glibc-2.3.2, gcc-3.2.3 - anything else? 
Problem Description:
My 3c59x miniPci network card won't work at all with 2.6.0-test kernels.I think
I've seen it work once, with an old 2.6.0-test kernel, but I'm not sure, and
I've tried all the way back to 2.6.0-test3, and can't reproduce it (working that
is).
the Hardware mac address is set to all FF's on 2.60. ifconfig works fine - I
just can't ping anything.

with 2.4.22 it all works like a charm.

Steps to reproduce:
compile 2.6.0-testX with 3c59x as module or built-in.
Comment 1 Klavs Klavsen 2003-11-04 22:21:17 UTC
I found the reason it didn't work. ACPI - if I disable it, it works as it
should. I found it, because I was recompiling my 2.4.22 kernel, and suddenly it
didn't work there either - and I had just enabled ACPI support.
Comment 2 Jeff Garzik 2003-12-17 18:38:04 UTC
Ok, it sounds like you track down the problem to ACPI.  Re-assigning to that
category...
Comment 3 Shaohua 2003-12-18 19:39:44 UTC
please try http://bugme.osdl.org/attachment.cgi?id=1629&action=view, it's 
about PCMCIA problem.
Comment 4 Len Brown 2003-12-18 20:44:22 UTC
Please attach the dmesg -s40000 and /proc/interrupts for the failure.
Also, please test if booting with pci=noacpi works.

Is the device in a cardbus slot, pcmcia slot, or other?

thanks,

I have same problem on kernel 2.6.0 with 8139too module. But when I'm booting
with pci=noacpi network work fine. In attachments dmesg -s40000 and
/proc/interrupts.

Comment 8 Len Brown 2004-04-23 21:14:06 UTC
Is the Thinkpad still broken with 2.4.26 or 2.6.5? 
This may be duplicate of bug 1188 
 
8139too issue is different.  Here ACPI mode uses IOAPIC 
and non ACPI mode uses PIC.  In both cases, the nic 
shares an IRQ with the ACPI interrupt.  If this one is still 
broken, please open a new bug. 
 
Comment 9 Len Brown 2004-05-14 20:54:01 UTC
Klavs, 
is this still a problem with 2.6.6, or should we close this bug? 
 
thanks,

no reply in 5 months -- closing. 
If this is still an issue with a recent kernel, feel free to re-open.
