Subject: 3c905c Tornado NIC Install BootNet Image for FRHL 5.2.1
Problem:
Many new PCs come with 3Com 905c Tornado card, but the 2.0.36 kernel
doesn't seem to support it.
Details:
The 3c59x.c driver did not support this card until the June or
July release of v0.99L 3c59x.c driver.
Solution:
Replace the 3c59x.c on the bootnet disk and in
/lib/modules/2.0.36-3/net after install (using post-install script)
This is a simplified boot disk, it will only let you install over
NFS using the 3c905c card... After the install is done it will
replace the /lib/modules/2.0.36-3/net/3c59x.o with a newer verision.
Location:
ftp://d0lxfm02.fnal.gov/pub/frhl/521/images/boot.img.net.fermi.3c59x
Warning:
I have not tested this particular image... Please review the ks.cfg
on the root of the floppy to make sure I didn't do anything stupid.
Better Solution:
Is coming soon from Connie in the form of the official boot floppy
with 0.99L included.
