                                Hello lists,

        Sorry for bother you but I still have problems with [Subject].

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
ifconfig is giving me this:

eth3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:97:10:87:9D
          inet addr:192.168.35.1 Bcast:192.168.35.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
          IPX/Ethernet 802.3 addr:19770426:00609710879D
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING PROMISC MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:786 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:65
          collisions:3 txqueuelen:100
          Interrupt:7 Base address:0x300

I think this is OK ...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
cat /proc/interrupts

           CPU0

  1: 16477 XT-PIC keyboard
  2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
  3: 324930 XT-PIC NE2000
  4: 2248176 XT-PIC serial
  7: 0 XT-PIC eth3 ***********************************

 13: 1 XT-PIC fpu
 14: 47346 XT-PIC ide0
 15: 34083 XT-PIC ide1

Why the CPU0 is not increasing the value over the eth3?

When i'm doing insmod with debug=10 ...
