1097:9055 3Com 3C905B 100baseTX [Cyclone] (rev 30) working
Just a quick note to let everyone know I have another 3Com network interface card working under Jnode.
The Cyclone is a very common workhorse 100base-TX card which I have had great results with since these cards were released, under FreeBSDs, Solaris x86s, Linuxen, and now Jnode!
OS: Jnode 0.2.6-dev r3633
PCI ID: 10b7:9055
Name: 3Com 3C905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone] (rev 30)
I did have to run ifconfig eth-pci(0,13,0) 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0 twice to get the IP address to "stick", and report back when I ran ifconfig.
route add 192.168.0.2 eth-pci(0,13,0) worked fine.
route add 192.168.0.1 eth-pci(0,13,0) added my test gateway the first time.
ping 192.168.0.1 sent and received 4 packets successfully, the first time.
No code changes were needed in the driver, simply an additional mapper entry (see below) into $buildhome/net/descriptors/org.jnode.driver.net.3c90x.xml
Rerun build, update your changed plugin .jgz files and go for it.
I haven't tried the Boomerang listed in my diff below, but I may soon.
I don't expect problems with the Boomerang, either.
I saw reports in other threads in this forum that the driver reported interrupt problems with the Boomerang, but there was not enough information to determine if that was a shared IRQ type of problem.
The Cyclone in my machine is on its own IRQ just to make sure that wasn't a possible cause of glitches.

Commited
Thanks, I commited the Cyclone descriptor.
Followup
Just as a followup, I tried my 3C905 Boomerang and got the same behavior noted elsewhere: a load of error messages about too much work in the Interrupt.
