Troubleshooting

The LINESPEED keyword must be set to 10 or 100

The LINESPEED keyword is used to force the network line speed to either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. If the keyword is not present the line speed is automatically detected.

The loopback test failed

Before the driver finishes loading, it runs a loopback test. This tests transmits a network packet internally testing all the transmit and receive hardware before going online. This test also checks that the resources the driver is using are valid. If the test fails it most likely means a hardware failure or an incompatibility between the card and the CardBus bridge. Adding keywords such as NOWRITEPOST, NOPREFETCH, and NOBURST may fix the problem.

The PCI IRQ could not be verified, the driver may not function

This message only occurs if the PCIIRQ keyword has been used to force PCI IRQ routing, and the IRQ keyword has been used to force a particular interrupt. If the driver cannot set or verify the IRQ through the PCI BIOS, it will give this message. If PCIIRQ is not present and the driver cannot set or verify the IRQ through the PCI BIOS it will use ISA IRQ routing.

The RXBUFFERSIZE keyword must be between 1 and 30

The value of the RXBUFFERSIZE keyword specifies the number of packets used in the receive buffer. Each packet requires approximately 1520 bytes of host memory.

The specified IRQ failed resource checking

The IRQ keyword was used to force a particular IRQ, but the resource checking in the driver reported a failure. To override the resource checking and load the driver anyway, use the NOCHECK keyword.

The selected memory is in use

The MEMORY keyword was used to force a particular memory address, but the resource checking in the driver reported a failure.

To override the resource checking and load the driver anyway, use the NOCHECK keyword.
