3Com 3c556B Mini-PCI Ethernet Card
Hi,
I have an IBM A21m Thinkpad and under Knoppix 3.2 this card rus OK but does not run under 3.4. In 3.2, lspci shows it as '3Com Corporation 3c556B Hurricane CardBus (rev 20). In3.4 lspci shows '3Com Corporation 3c556B CardBus [Tornado]. ifconfig show a hardware address of FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. From lsmod on 3.2 and 3.4 it looks like it uses the 3c59x driver, but this shows as unused on 3.4. I have tried 'ifconfig eth0 up' and 'pump -i eth0' but this fails.
Any suggestions? Thanks
Dallas

I now know it is not a networking problem. the 3c59x driver hasn't changed from Knoppix 3.3 to 3.4. If anyone can point me to the driver that detects pci devices I may be able to solve my own problem. The card is now incorrectly detected as '3c556B CardBus [Tornado]' when it is a '3c556B Hurricane CardBus'. I will post more details (lspci -v) on the Hardware forums.

I have similar Thinkpad (IBM T21). KNOPPIX 3.2/3.3 worked just fine... but KNOPPIX 3.4 did not. To be more precise, everything worked except "networking". Solution (aka workaround)
was to pass a parameter to the kernel at boot time.
knoppix acpi=off
This is not the best solution, but it works. I've learned about "acpi" workaround from the creator of the "mephis" distribution. Networking did not work.
What is in common for KNOPPIX and MEPHIS ? Both are based on "debian" and in both cases
networking did not work.
RH8/9 and Mandrake do not have any problem with networking on the IBM T21.
I hope it helps
Igor
