Hi,
I am trying to set up an Arcnet card and 2 Ethernet cards on one node. In my
sysinit file, I load the Ethernet drivers first and then the Arcnet driver
but then, the Arcnet driver is not loaded.I looked at this with a logic
analyzer and then can see that it is not even trying to write to that I/O
address of Arcnet card. If I unload the first Ethernet, then I can load the
Arcnet driver. Again if I reboot and now unload the second EtherNet, then I
cannot load the Arcnet. Here also, there is no access seen with the logic
Analyzer.
If I load the Arcnet Driver first in my sysinit, then only one Ethernet
driver is loaded.
I have set up the Network manager for 3 drivers with ‘Net -d3 &’ option.
Any suggestions please?
Regards,
Harpartap.
Well I was about to point out the Net -d3 but you caught that.
I seem to recall that the Arcnet card needs a memory footprint in the
640K-1M address range. Is that available?
What happens if you load the driver by hand? Does it load and terminate,
load and disappear, load and crash?

Try starting each driver manually, adding -vvv to (three v’s) each command
line. Maybe this will give you a clue about the nature of the problem.
Look for conflicts in interrupts and memory adresses. The Corman ARCNET
card uses an 8K 8-bit memory area, by default at segment address DC00.
