| |
Hi all...
I have just switched the network card for my internal network from a 8139 to a 3c905C-TX/TX-M. The 3c59x driver gives the buggy FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF hardware address for the adapter. I had heard about the problem and looked throug LKML archives, but they just point to a non existen web page. I use 2.4.21-pre6+aa.
What happens ? Any solution available ?
