Hi, Sorry if it is not related to debian specific but I hope some one would help me out.
I got two boxes and wish to use plip to connect. Kernel 2.4.12-ac2 compiled with plip and lp as modules. Printting is normal; So, I removed lp and even I removed parport_pc so on, and modprobe parport_pc modprobe plip No error message but plip does not use the correct irw for the device, the syslog says: parport0 has no IRQ. Using IRQ-less mode,wh ich is fairly inefficient! Nov 9 16:48:09 kieu kernel: NET3 PLIP version 2.4-parport [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nov 9 16:48:09 kieu kernel: plip0: Parallel port at 0x378, not using IRQ But when parport_pc loaded it detects irq 7 correctly parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [PCSPP,TRISTATE] Nov 9 16:40:04 kieu kernel: parport0: cpp_daisy: aa5500ff(38) Nov 9 16:40:04 kieu kernel: parport0: assign_addrs: aa5500ff(38) Nov 9 16:40:04 kieu kernel: parport0: cpp_daisy: aa5500ff(38) Nov 9 16:40:04 kieu kernel: parport0: assign_addrs: aa5500ff(38) Nov 9 16:47:59 kieu kernel: parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [PCSPP,TRISTATE] Nov 9 16:47:59 kieu kernel: parport0: irq 7 detected If I tried to insmod plip io=0x378 irq=7 and it says: Using /lib/modules/2.4.12-ac2/kernel/drivers/net/plip.o /lib/modules/2.4.12-ac2/kernel/drivers/net/plip.o: invalid parameter parm_io I suspect as plip did not use the correct irq so that the interface is not good. When I ping each other 100% packets lost, and the other end says, plip0: transmit timeout(1,80) Is it a bug with kernel 2.4.12-ac2? Or did I miss something?
