[PLUG] FW: AT-2500-TX-001 with Linux

[Michael S Hines]

We are trying to use an Allied Telesyn AT-2500-TX 10/100 PCI Fast Ethernet
Metwork Adapter Card with Caldera Linux 2.3 Open Linux.  I have searched the
web site http://www.alliedtelesyn.com for Linux drivers, as well as checking
on the floppy software distribution disk.  I have not been able to locate
any Linux drivers for this system (or any Linux system) although Telesyn
compatability chart shows this NIC should work with Linux.   Does anyone
have drivers (or can you point me to a source) for this card and Linux
(specifically Caldera 2.3 OpenLinux)?

The card appears to talk to the network briefly upon startup and then we
loose the network connection.  If we go into Network Interface Setup the
system starts communicating with the network again for a short time, and
then the connection is lost again.  The connection only maintains activity
for a few minutes.

We are on a 100MB Ethernet switched network.

Hardware is a Gateway P5-90 computer.

Thank you.
