Subject: 3c509b on up1000

    Hi all,

    i've just installed a 3c509b in my up1000, ide hd, agp graphics, SuSE 6.3
    AXP, kernel 2.2.16.

    modprobe detects the device correctly, then i can configure it with
    ifconfig and add a route w/o problems.

    though it doesn't send/receive any packets - can't even ping over it.

    i've not seen any indication - log output or similar - to why it's not
    working.
    i've tried the exact same configuration - even with the same card - on a
    pc running RedHat and it works fine. and yes - i've triplechecked the
    cables, twice.

    here's some output:

    any clues? anyone used a 3c509 on up1k? doh, everyone's running superfast
    pci-cards these days.
    it's supposed to be one of the most stable and tested drivers around, and
    platform independent as well, so i'm guessing the driver is probably not
    the problem here. but then, as marvin would've said, what's goin' on?

    many thanks,

    /martin
