Description Need Real Name 2001-05-25 03:33:11 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i586)

Description of problem:
During booting. If DLink DE660 inserted, after the process "starting APM",
I get a non-stop output to the screen "eht0:interrupt from stopped
card."........." eth0:interrupt from stopped card." ....... Until I
manually shut down my Toshiba laptop Satellite 2100CDS

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.installed RH linux 7.1 with Dlink DE-660 at card slot 0.
2.netconfig, then ifup eth0
3.Then you will get non-stop message running through the screen
"etho:interrupt from stopped card." Reboot the machine, same thing happens.
	

Actual Results:  ....

Expected Results:  My DE660 NIC was working at RH Linux 6.1

Additional info:

Also refer to the bug 40350.

I eject the NIC, then the error disappear. and I check the
/var/log/messages:

Adding "exclude irq 3" to /etc/pcmcia/config.opts solve the problem.

Comment 2 Arjan van de Ven 2001-05-28 09:20:45 UTC
Interesting... do you have a serial mouse by chance ? (as opposed to PS/2 mouse)

Comment 3 Need Real Name 2001-05-28 22:40:30 UTC
No, I do not have a serial mouse on. I am not sure why this method fix this
problem; nonetheless I guess it does not matter whether you have a serial mouse
attached or not. The startup program of pcmcia is scanning throught every
available irq resources except those being excluded at the file
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts. I think, therefore excluding irq 3 from the scanning
process avoiding a conflict between hardware. 

Check here: http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ftp/doc/PCMCIA-HOWTO.html

at the section: "Interrupt scan failures"

Another interesting thing. After making my network card working, the ftp service
was still not working. I found that I had to run /usr/sbin/setup to turn on NFS
and wuftp services, also setup network security.

Comment 4 Arjan van de Ven 2001-05-28 22:47:35 UTC
That's a feature, see the release notes.
All services ship default disabled for security; if you want them it's 
simple to turn on...
