kernell error

Please excuse my english
I did upgrade my node hardware
to Pentium III 800 MHZ 128MB
but when I tried run a new 3Com
Etherlink card have this problem

nettrap query
Net.ether905 -pd800 -i255 -I0 -l1 &
netmap -f

but when I run nettrap start the kernel smash

Version 425.J Sep 09 1999 …
kernel fault Idt 270 fault d+14
(pid = 47, ‘//1/bin/Net’)
and stack and register description

Thanks

The parameter -i255 is the hint - it means that the PCI-BIOS did not assign an
interrupt to the card (or nettrap was unable to determine which one).

First, you could try to start the driver without using nettrap like this:

Net.ether905 -v &

(-v to get more info, the other parameters are really redundant)

If the system still crashes, you should check your BIOS settings (interrupt
assignment for PCI should be auto, plug&play OS off, interrupts only reserved
for Legacy/ISA when really necessary etc. etc.)

If you don’t find anything, please post the output from

show_pci -v

(before attempting to run nettrap, of course).

BTW, what is the precise type of the card you are using? There are a lot of
different 3C905 cards around!
I have an installed base of appr. 60 pcs. 3C905B-TX-NM running perfectly fine
with QNX4, but have also seen a 3C905-T4 which consistently refuses to negotiate
a link with our HP switches…

Dear Anders, thank you
