Seeking hpcsh kernel binary with ep driver


Hello,

The subject pretty much says it all: I'm looking for a (preferably
recent) kernel image with the ep* devices enabled (for my 3Com 3c589D
pcmcia ethernet card in a Jornada 680). From what I see here:

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-hpcsh/2002/11/06/0000.html

and more recently here:

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-hpcsh/2006/01/02/0002.html

this once was the case for GENERIC, but from what I see here:

http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/arch/hpcsh/conf/GENERIC?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

# PCMCIA network interfaces

# MII/PHY support

it is no longer so. (I wonder why not?).

I have a 4.0 kernel working on the Jornada, and it recognises the card
correctly, but of course it's "not configured". It seems a reasonable

Please try the following kernel:

Wow, thanks!

The card is recognised and configured now, but as soon as dhclient tries
to do it's thing I see this repeatedly on the console:

	ep0: adapter failure (2003)

I seem to be experiencing the same problem as described here by M
Ramakers:

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-bugs/2005/12/21/0023.html

including the same error (sendto: host down) if I try static IP
configuration and pinging my gateway. The gateway never sees any packets
from the Jornada. I have exactly the same card (3Com Etherlink III,
3C589D-TP) as described in the above mailing list message.

This is PR 32356:

fwiw, let me say I am still using that particular card in a
netbsd-4_rc5 system, but haven't tried in the jornada after submitting
this bug (no idea how it would work in 4.x)

That's a bummer :/ I think the last time I used ep was in the pre-3.0 
days, before tripping over the network cable and breaking the clips on

Yes, I do. Also, the LEDs on the dongle are not lit.

I might have a poke at the source tomorrow, but my knowledge of device
driver programming being what it is, I wouldn't expect a miracle.

Thanks for the help!

Following up to myself:

I had a poke at the souce: CARD_FAILURE, underrun, blah blah. Then I
wondered if... if maybe... and sure enough the card is recognised by XP
(Device Manager is happy) but won't play properly with that OS either
(no ARP, no lit lights on the dongle). Consequently, I suppose that the
card (dongle?) really is dead :( and Occam is alive and well :)

Excellent, at least I'm not heading down a blind alley :)

Jared, that's very kind, thank you - if you have the time then just a
plain old kernel with ep is all I need.
