6 | module, you can do this with "modprobe 3c505 dma=n". If the driver is | ||

10 | The driver will warn you if it has to fall back on the compiled in | ||

19 | Theoretically, one instance of the driver can now run multiple cards, | ||
20 | in the standard way (when loading a module, say "modprobe 3c505 | ||
21 | io=0x300,0x340 irq=10,11 dma=6,7" or whatever). I have not tested | ||
22 | this, though. | ||
23 | |||
24 | The driver may now support revision 2 hardware; the dependency on | ||
25 | being able to read the host control register has been removed. This | ||
26 | is also untested, since I don't have a suitable card. | ||
27 | |||
28 | Known problems: | ||
29 | I still see "DMA upload timed out" messages from time to time. These | ||
30 | seem to be fairly non-fatal though. | ||
31 | The card is old and slow. | ||
32 | |||
33 | To do: | ||
34 | Improve probe/setup code | ||
35 | Test multicast and promiscuous operation | ||
