Sorry about that
im kinda new to this if you cant tell ;)
make config allowed me to select what nic drivers i
wanted but this did not compile or load the new driver
i will have to get the exact errors msg's when i get
back home
i ran the recompile kernal found here
http://www.parisc-linux.org/kernel/index.html
using Simple Recipe to Build a Kernel
this added the source to /usr/src/linux
that source should be the same as my kernal
after doing that i did this
http://www.scyld.com/expert/modules.html
needed to get lib6,cvs after a net-install to do this
the common error after compileing and doing a insmod
3c95x.o
was "this was compiled for 2.4.18 and this version is
for 2.4.19"
so i copy the 3c95x.c from the 2.4.19 kernel and did it
again now i get an error like this will not function
ill get better errors msgs tonight
am i doing this all wrong ?

Well if I well understand you reached to recompile hppa linux kernel
with module for 3c95x: congratulation.
But to load modules, they have to be build for the kernel you are
running (I think that will change in 2.6). So the only think to do now
is to _reboot_ with the kernel you just rebuild for your nic :)
hth,
Joel

I'm quite sure that won't change, ever. Linux, if it's compatible to
itself at all, has got "only" a source compatible API. You're somewhat
on a more save side if you're using symbol versioning, but if you force
a module to load (into a kernel of different version or even of
different configuration), you may loose. Right now or sometime later:)
That's what "tainting" was ment for:)

It might be the 3com card, the recommended NIC cards for the B1000 are
HP B5509BA PCI 10/100Base-TX and HP A4926A PCI 1000Base-SX

this looks like a generic module compiling problem, not hppa specific...
have you done this before succesfully? Are you building a module from
the same tree where you built the kernel you are running? I just tried
this against 2.4 cvs and it works fine.

is the module installed in /lib/modules/`uname -r` ?

what did you expect it to do?

For my part, I run successfully a Debian on a b2k with 2 nic (the builtin
and an additional) since a long time but it is an hp product.
I also try some stuff coming from i386: an OEM hp equinox pci card (which
Grant use successfully on a i386) but the driver doesn't yet work on hppa;
also in the same case an ATI gfx card,... (for this last I am awaiting that
2.6 run on my b2k to investigate more because ATI drivers are already improved
in 2.6 :-))

how does it "not work"? does it hang the box?
i have a spare 3c95x that i can try as well... (altho there are
really many variants of the vortex/boomerang cards)
can you perhaps plug the card into a working i386 box and show us the
lspci -vvvn output?

Ive been trying for 5 days not to get a second nic
installed into hp b1000 using pa-risc woody 3
iv read all i can find , been to all the irc chnls
im at a loss here
it may be the 3com 3C95x pci card does not work in this
box
it should work with debian
the card does work in i386 box
the builtin nic works fine
can this be done? if so is there a howto ?
if this card is not supported what nic cards are ?
TIA
