At present the driver autoprobes for a WaveLAN card only at I/O address 0x390. - The version of the card that I use (NCR) supports four I/O addresses (selectable - via a pair of DIP switches). If you want the driver to autoprobe a different - subset of the four valid addresses then you will need to edit - .../drivers/net/wavelan.c (near line 714) and change the initialisation of the - `iobase[]' array. Normally, I use a LILO configuration file directive to - obviate the need for autoprobing entirely, a course of action I heartily - recommend. - -2. By default, the driver uses the Network ID (NWID) stored in the card's Parameter - Storage Area (PSA). However, the PSA NWID can be overridden by a value passed - explicitly as the third numeric argument to LILO's "ether=" directive, either - at the LILO prompt at boot time or within LILO's configuration file. - For example, the following line from such a LILO configuration file would - auto-configure the IRQ value, set the I/O base to 0x390 and set the NWID to - 0x4321, all on a WaveLAN card labelled "eth0": - - .. - append ="ether=0,0x390,0x4321,eth0" - .. - -3. The driver uses the IRQ stored in the card's PSA. - To change this you will need to use the configuration/setup software that - accompanies each WaveLAN device. Yes, the driver should use the value passed - in via LILO and it will, just as soon as I can work out why that part of the - code doesn't work :-(. - -4. If you encounter any problems send me some email. - -Good luck, -Bruce Janson (bruce@cs.usyd.edu.au) |
