The device probe detected that the board is configured for a different
interrupt than the one specified in the kernel configuration file.
"ie%d: reset"
The Intel i82586 had to be reset by the driver.
"ie%d: transceiver problem"
The driver has detected a problem with the Ethernet transceiver.
This is
usually due to a loose or broken transceiver cable when using an external
transceiver.
When you experience this problem with an on-card transceiver
your card may be incorrectly jumpered for to use an external transceiver.
Worst case your on-board transceiver may be broken.
"ie%d: TDR detected an open %d clocks away"
The driver detected an open circuit in the Ethernet cable.
Check your
coax cable and terminator resistors.
"ie%d: TDR detected a short %d clocks away"
The driver detected a short circuit in the Ethernet cable.
Check your
coax cable and terminator resistors.
"ie%d: TDR returned unknown status %x"
The driver got an unknown status from the card during the Ethernet cable
test.
"ie%d: multicast address setup command failed"
The card could not be put into multicast mode.
"ie%d: configure command failed"
The card refused to respond correctly during configuration.
"ie%d: individual address setup command failed"
The programming of the Ethernet (MAC) address failed.
CAVEATS
The Racal Interlan NI5210 comes in variants with 8 and 16 kbytes of
shared memory.
It is strongly advisable to use the 16 kbyte variant.
You can upgrade your 8 kbyte card to 16 kbyte by adding an additional
RAM chip.
