Message-ID: <207@dutesta.UUCP> Date: Thu, 23-Feb-84 03:38:45 EST Article-I.D.: dutesta.207 Posted: Thu Feb 23 03:38:45 1984 Date-Received: Fri, 24-Feb-84 02:46:40 EST Organization: Delft univ. of tech., the Netherlands Lines: 23 Is there anyone outthere who has any experience in using the INTEL 82586 ethernet controller chip. We have experienced trouble with this chip due to temperature. Apart from that problem the execution of command blocks does not seem to work. Command blocks are accepted by the controller and the busy bit is set, after that nothing happens. The only command from which it returns is the NOP. Is there anyone experiencing the same problems, or knows if there are errors in the documentation of this chip. (Our Reference Manual is dated january 1983) Responses can be mailed to the following address: -- John Nellen, Delft Univ. of Technology ..!{decvax,philabs}!mcvax!dutesta!john
