RE: init_net doesn't return.


You might try sticking with plain text instead of html formatted email.
I have a feeling this will yield better results.

Subject: [ECOS] init_net doesn't return.


Folks,
 
Init_net doesn't return, preventing my application from running.
(PING_TEST.C)
 
My first thought is that when my device driver starts, its running at
too high a priority level to let the init_net function finish.
 
CPU loading may also be an issue.  This is running on an EP7211 slowed
to 18Mhz for CS8900A Ethernet compatibility.  The driver I'm bringing up
is a Wavelan Orinoco hanging off of the PCMCIA port.  GDB is running via
Reboot through the Ethernet port and looks a little chatty (to me...)
 
Network based calls do seem to be (sporadically) taking place on the
target system.  Various packets are being sent and received by the
Wavelan driver.  I just noticed that the HW address looks a little
suspect.
 
Does anyone have any ideas one what I might try next?
