This looks like the media table that is written by the tulip-diag program. If you haven't already written the table to the card, it's possible that Intel shipped later versions of the card with a correct media table. If that is the case, please send the output of 'tulip-diag -eee'. > You have an Intel CardBus card with an incomplete EEPROM. > The station address is 00:a0:c9:bb:00:a4 > New EEPROM contents would be: I print this message unconditionally. I'll update the 'tulip-diag' to check if the EEPROM is really incomplete before printing this message. -- Donald Becker [email protected] Scyld Computing Corporation http://www.scyld.com 410 Severn Ave. Suite 210 Second Generation Beowulf Clusters Annapolis MD 21403 410-990-9993 _______________________________________________ tulip mailing list, [email protected] To change to digest mode or unsubscribe visit http://www.scyld.com/mailman/listinfo/tulip
