Hello all,

I'm trying to configure a second nic card in a ES40 (5.1B) alphaserver
without any luck.The firmware console and the OS both see the card. But
when I try to bring up the tu0 interface
no traffic seems to going thru it. Ping does not return.

I have already the done the following -

1. on firmware console
set ewa0_mode auto

2. built a new kernel using doconfig.

here are the kernel messages -

Thanks for the replies .I solved the problem by putting a newer nic
card.
The one which have the DEC chips are ancient. The card with COMPAQ
Intel 82559 worked without any problems as the secong nic.
