My Alpha has a tulip chip on board, but Gentoo won't talk to it at all. It sees it, and ifconfig lists it, but when I assign it an IP address, I can't do anything with it. I thought I was the only one with the problem, or that my NIC wasn't working right. (But it does work in FreeBSD/alpha.) I ended up putting a 3Com 3c595 into it, and that works fine. (The Vortex card.) I had forgotten about that until now - the Vortex is a 10/100Mb card, while the Tulip is a 10mb card, so I prefer this setup anyhow.) If I'm not alone, maybe that's a problem that should be looked at... - Matt -- [email protected] mailing list
