Hi All,

    I've got a celeron box with 2.3.99pre6, one 3c905 and one 4-port Duralan
card. The driver for the 3c905 is compiled into the kernel, while the
starfire driver is compiled as a module. Whenever I try to "insmod
starfire", the following appears in kern.log and viewing /proc/modules shows
starfire as [initializing].

I've looked at the various archives ... seems that lots of things can cause
this kind of problem. I have received some feedback questioning whether or
not this driver has actually been tested in the 2.3.x kernel. Any
suggestions?

Thanks for your help,
