Network Adapter Allied Telesyn 2700FTX

Hello,

I have some Problems with the atnic module for my AT Network Adapter AT
2700 FTC (SC).

I've downloaded and compiled the atnic.c module from the knowledge-Base at
www.alliedtelesyn.com and installed the module, following the
Instructions in the README file.

After rebooting, the module seems to load correctly.
No error messages:
>>/var/log/messages

The Problem: Only the Copper-Port on the Card is working!
The Lightwave-Port (SC) doesen't work! When I reboot the computer, I
can see a green Diode flashing, indicating a working connection. But
when the module is loaded by the Boot-Procedure the light stops
flashing. The light goes out.
When I connect the Computer with a Twisted Pair Ethernet Cable on the
copper Port, everything is working fine.


The compile command was:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE - DMODVERSIONS -I/lib/modules/2.4.20-
4GB/build/include -I/lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB/build/include/net -Wall -
Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -march=i486 -c atnic.c

During the compilation I get the following warnings:

-----OUTPUT OF GCC ------
gcc: 2: No such file or directory

------END---------------

But the module is compiled --> atnic.o

In the output of 'dmesg', there is an error message:
>>
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 transmitt timed out
eth0:transmit timed out, status 007b, resetting
<<

The /ect/modules.conf entry is:
>>
alias eth0 atnic
options atnic options=0
<<
options=0 is for Auto-nego
The Card is installed in our Linux/Samba Fileserver,
a Fuijitsu-Siemens "Primergy Econel 30", Intel Pentium4, 512 MB RAM.
The OS is Suse Linux 8.2, Kernel: 2.4.20-4GB,
GCC Version is 3.3, GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.2

I had to recompile the module because the atnic.o module I found on
the website was compiled with an gcc Version 2 and thus, the module
will not work with my gcc Version 3.

I've tested the Lightwave-connection with a Windows-Computer and a
AT27001FTC-SC Adapter and it worked fine.

I hope, You can help me with this problem!

Thanks in advance !!!
