It seems many owners of the EB920/Lan Rover Ethernet Card has experienced
problems of getting the card working with tcp/ip. Due to ASDG not supporting
this card anymore, I present the drivers and my solution to the problem.
The real problem with this card is that it lacks an Hardware Ethernet
Address. This must somehow be set. (I have just tested with amitcp 4.3,
this might work with earlier versions too):
- The jumper J2 must be set to 'int6' on the card.
- Use the 'i6' version of eb920.device (included in the archive)
- Edit the eb920 entry in amitcp:db/interfaces (replace the xx's with
random hex numbers in the range 00-FF):
eb920 DEV=DEVS:Networks/eb920.device UNIT=0 ADDRESS=04:94:04:xx:xx:xx
- You also might be able to set the hardware address with the utility
s2util (included in the archive):
s2util CONFIG SA 04.94.04.xx.xx.xx
- Configure Amitcp for direct ethernet (with eb920) the usual way with
the 'config amitcp' utility.
OK, I hope this works for you. I've tried HARD to get the eb920 to work,
usually my machine just hung. But not anymore!
