I have an 3C579 EISA Card - on a PCI/EISA System, the EISA Card is defined to be at IRQ 5 so as to avoid the standard IRQ=15 which is claimed by my 4th PCI Slot, also it is defined in the kernel to be at IRQ=5... BUT Intermitantly I receive the following error about 6 times a day. ef0: adapter failure, net diag c82, fifo diag 2000 I was told by BSDI support that it was most probably a faulty card or faulty wiring, i have replaced the card a number of times, and also have replaced the wiring, [it is now directly on a SynOptics system 3000 LatticeHUB] I am at a loss.. If anyone could suggest anything.. Also the system stats are.. Twin P5/133 256mb EDO Mem 20gb Storage 6XCD 4 PCI 5 EISA ATI MACH 64 w/4mb VRAM (PCI) BUSLOGIC BT-946 (PCI) Thanx in advance. Patrick S.
