Description of Problem: Clean install of rh7.1 on Dell 5000e w/ Xircom Cardbus 10/100:56k The system seems to randomly give a 200kb/s rx transfer in /proc/net/dev w/out any discernable connection (netstat). It seems to go away on its own as well. The other issue to note is that on boot up the cardmgr gives the following error message May 7 02:32:23 bloosqr cardmgr[569]: + don't know how to make device "xircom_cb" May 7 02:32:23 bloosqr cardmgr[569]: + /dev/xircom_cb: No such file or directory Perhaps I just have to mknod a certain type of device to fix the problem? How Reproducible: The spurious receives are not reproducible in any sense of the word. The error message is always reproducible :) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot w/ Xircom Card in :) 2. 3. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information:
The driver puts the card in "receive all" mode. There's nothing that can be done at that, it seems the card is either "receive all packets" or "receive no packets", the "receive only my packets" mode is defective. The cardmgr messages are weird but it looks like an interaction with cardmgr and the hotplug system. The message is harmless.... cardmgr isn't involved for cardbus cards.
