GTIMMER@DOSUNI1.BITNET (Gerald Timmer) (07/31/90)
We want to use a PS/2 Model 80 with a WD Ethercard Plus/A and NCSA
Telnet Ver. 2.2C. But it turned out that we were unable to get
the card running with the WD8003E Packet Driver ( Ver. 1.08 ).
Tests showed, that the card ( or the driver ) isn't able to receive
any packets from the net. We also tried PC/TCP from FTP inc. Ver. 2.04
but the behaviour was nearly the same. Has anyone else ever had such a
problems.
Many thanks in advance
Gerald Timmer

Subject: Problems with WD Ethercard Plus/A (mca)
We want to use a PS/2 Model 80 with a WD Ethercard Plus/A and NCSA
..... We also tried PC/TCP from FTP inc. Ver. 2.04
but the behaviour was nearly the same.
You don't say if you were using our ETHDRV (packet driver) kernel or
the WD8003 (linked-in driver) kernel. If the former, I would expect
that we would have the same trouble as NCSA. If the latter, with
"2.04 pl 1" we added support for some new WD MCA cards that needed
a new bit set during initialization. If you don't set it, it looks
like the card initialized ok, but it doesn't work.
