I just replaced my adaptec 2940 with a buslogic bt-950. I was
surprised to find out that networking had ceased to function after
installing the new card. The kernel version is 2.0.33 and the only
difference before and after is the scsi adapter. The output of
/proc/net/dev is attached below. Below that is the disassembly of the
code. The network card is a 3com etherlink XL 3c900. There are no memory
or irq conflicts. I wish I could give more information, but I haven't had
any experience debugging the kernel, in the four years I've used linux
it's always just worked (with the exception of a runaway maple session
that wiped clean the disk that the swap partition and dos was on, and that
wasn't such a bad thing). If any further information is needed, please let
me know.
