I have problems with PLIP in moduleless 2.12[89] kernel:
I have enabled parport, parport_pc, and plip but I am unable to `ifconfig up'
plip interface:
|
| SIOCSIFADDR: Operation not supported by device
| SIOCSIFDSTADDR: Operation not supported by device
|
Here are lelevant message from kernel log (during bootup):
|
| kernel: parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP,ECP,ECPEPP,ECPPS2]
| kernel: parport0: detected irq 7; use procfs to enable interrupt-driven operation.
|
How is one supposed to ``use procfs to enable interrupt-driven operation''?
And later:
|
| kernel: plip: parport0 has no IRQ.
| kernel: plip: no devices registered
|
At the same time (hardware, kernel version) I've managed to get PLIP
working on a modular kernel. What have I done:
insmod parport
insmod parport_pc
echo 7 > /proc/parport/0/irq
insmod plip
ifconfig ... up
I.e. set irq to 7 prior to plip.
But how can I set irq amid system booting in a static kernel?
Although, probably, I am just missing smth. (if so please point me to
appropriate documentation), it looks like a bug.
Thank you.
QingLong.
