Subject says it all.. Is anyone successfully running a Western
Digital 8013 E-net card under RH9? (kernel 2.4.20)
I've been battling for a month of evenings to make this thing work.
DHCP, Static, doesn't matter.. I'm wondering if the module, wd.o is
broken because it reports the IO address incorrectly - 0x300 as 0x310,
0x280 as 0x290 etc..)
The card worked great under RH 7.2 and if I boot from a floppy with
the DOS/ODI stack on it, it comes right up.
Some part of this seems to be working because my DHCP server can "see"
the DHCP Broadast and appears to be assigning an IP, but the Linux box
reports No DCHPOFFER Accepted.
I've read and re-read HOW-TOs, online discussion forums, RH docs etc
until I'm blue in the face.. I've never had this much trouble getting
a simple ethernet card to work, even back in 1993/94 when I was a
complete Linux newbie and got my 1st Slackware box up and running.
Frustrating to say the least...
