Whoah. It has been a long time since I worked on this stuff. I am amazed that this worked for so many people and glad that so many have used it. If anyone wishes to contact me in the future, my e-mail is ajcarpio AT gmail DOT com. Best of luck with Haiku. I may take a look at it in the future once I have some spare time. If I ever get enough free time, who knows, maybe I'll try my hand at Haiku video drivers for ATI cards since they pay me to write drivers for them anyway. :-P

Contacting Antonio?

If anyone knows how to contact Antonio Carpio, please let me know - I have tried 2 different email addresses found here on bebits (the dev profile address, and the email address linked to the akaTONE account also).

I wanted to let him know that I was planning on submitting the driver to Haiku svn and ask him some questions about the license.

Great!

@Fredde:

I have submitted a modified version of this driver to one of the Haiku devs to be committed to the Haiku tree.

Download not working

Link is broken. Do anyone have this? Since sources are BSD/MIT and included in the download, they would fit nice in Haiku svn...

Driver locks up after loading 4+ web pages

Has any one else had a problem where the driver locks up after surfing to 4 or more pages. I have to restart the networking to re-enable it. I am using BeOS 5.03 with netserver.

This Driver Works Great! with my HP Pavilion ZE4115 Laptop.

Very fast and never crashes. Thanks for helping make BeOS a Great OS

Finally got FA311 Rev-C1 working

Did what the directions said.

1. Moved the compiled driver to th net symlink.
2. Created a symlink FROM the moved file TO the /boot/home/config/add-ons/kernel/drivers/bin directory.
3. Copied the add-on to the add-ons directory symlink. I had to use the system level directory like the author as the user level did not "take".

Is fast and stable with dupe IP using a static IP.

Best of luck.

Cheers

This was the last piece in the puzzle for getting my old Cyrix (has a Netgear FA311) up and running something cool, BeOS! Thanks!

Where exactly do the files go?
 By fasteddy - Posted on January 28, 2004 - 19:35:13   (#10813)

I'm confused by the installation instructions in the readme. In what directories do each compiled file (the driver and the addon) go? What directories (exact paths) do files go in and where must symlinks be created to and placed where?

How does it work?

Um... Maybe I'm a real n00b, but how does it work? I followed the instructions in the README, but the Network panel (under Preferences) does not show any entries besides the two default ISA entries. I have a FA311 and I'd rather like to get it working...

Duplicate address thingy too
 By tb100 - Posted on October 20, 2003 - 09:29:10   (#9295)

I also get the duplicate address problem.

What is weird is that one time it actually allowed me to use the connection for a bit. I've got a fixed IP on my university network, and pinging that worked fine. I tried pinging the gateway, expecting that to fail, but that worked too. I fired up mozilla, managed to get to bebits and started downloading something (was getting about 10k/s compared to >500k/s in windows). Then all of a sudden the "Duplicate IP Address detected" box popped up and the system froze. A hard reset was necessary. When Be restarted, I got the duplicate error straight away - froze the system again.

Weird anyway.

I emailed the author last week but haven't had a reply yet. Anyone else have any idea what the problem might be who could have a quick look through the code? The code is included in the download.

Cheers,

Simon

Duplicate adress problem
 By Norre - Posted on September 10, 2003 - 14:37:25   (#8760)

I installed with instructions:
$ cd /boot/home/Desktop/if_dp83815
$ copyattr -d Driver/DP83815
/boot/home/config/add-ons/kernel/drivers/bin/DP83815
$ mkdir /boot/home/config/add-ons/kernel/drivers/dev/net
$ pushd /boot/home/config/add-ons/kernel/drivers/dev/net
$ ln -s -f ../../bin/DP83815 DP83815
$ popd
$ copyattr -d Addon/DP83815 /boot/beos/system/add-ons/net_server/DP83815
$ /boot/beos/preferences/Network &
6) Then restart the network.

When i restart network there is duplicate ip-address problem. I can ping my own ip-address but nothing else.

Two copies

Thinking about it, if I had have had both locations (system and user) active, that wouldn't have explained why one said "National Semicondutor...", but the other said "National Semi..."

I have just doubled checked. Yes, I have deleted from the user area: I only have the system area copy left.

have you..

if you haev tried the driver in both places both system & user land did you delete it after one failed? If you have the driver in both user & system land that would be why you have two nics even though the system should be ignoring a system driver if you have one in useland. just something to think about. Make sure you don't have the driver on the system more then once. Past that you using the one that works if the duplicate driver thing isnt causing the problem. net_server networking has a bad habbit of assigning the same IP & details to both nics if there is more then one. You will have to manually change it & fight the preferences panel a while. SO try one with your public IP & force the others one to have NO info. restart see if you have net... if that dont work make sure the pref pannel didnt change it back to both nics haev the same ip. if it did force the change gain & try again... if you see it stayed & only one nic has an ip then thats not the working nic reverse the information giving the IP to the second nic now & blank the first one you tried. repaeat it all. & make sure the pref pannel dont change stuff on you.

I have just tried to install this driver, but with no success, I have tried in both user and system spaces as suggested in the README. Restarting Networking as suggested in the README did nothing, however restarting the machine did bring up a new interface in network config. The thing is it now says I have 2 cards! One is labled "National Semiconductor DP83815 based network card", the other is "National Semi DP83815 10/100 PCI(1)->Ready". Which do I use? Why do I have two?

I tried the following with each enabled in turn:

ping to localhost does nothing
ping to 127.0.0.1 works OK (presumably this doesn't touch the driver).
ping to my IP gives a warning about duplicat IP address detected, the ping times out.
Ping to another IP times out.

The bottom line is that I can't get the driver to work.

Duplicate IP address errors
 By mrvelvet - Posted on February 2, 2003 - 20:48:35   (#5703)

The driver installs fine, I get the card available in the network prefs dialogue. When I restart the network, bang, duplicate IP address error. This is the same for both static and DHCP. I haven't had any crash issues etc.
If it's any use, I'm on a Class B network (netmask 255.255.0.0). Everything else is a clean Max edition install (except for ogg tools).

In response to lagmasteruk: There is a readme file included with the driver. Reading it is a good start. ;) The "net link" it talks about is present in the driver directories, so it's a simple matter of copying the file to the correct link. Once this is done, restart the computer and go to Network preferences. The card should now appear allowing you to configure it.

Hold off on that, having some problems over here with the machine locking up. I deleted the link so that no one would fudge with it until I fixed it. I'll try to have it back up soon enuf.

I fixed the MAC address code. That is the only thing I can think of that could be causing the duplicate IP error. Lemme know whether this works or not.

hmmmm

I need to check the MAC address code. That is the only thing I can think of right now that could cause duplicate IP problems. As for the WOL card, I don't touch the regs dealing with WOL and the chips are the same from what I have read, so have at it. I will try and figure out if the MAC code is right and if possible post a fix tomorrow. If anyone else has any problems, just post the info here as I get e-mailed your messages automatically. Thanks for your all's feedback.

oh forgot...

I have the non-WOL (Wake-On-Lan) version of the card... does it make any difference? The driver should work fine anyway, no?

sweeeeet....

Yay, I get the IP by DHCP... this is the only DP83815 driver that has done that for me so far... but then I get the same problem as the previous post stated... when I try to use the net I get the Duplicate IP detected. Has anyone solved the problem, or know what's wrong?

duplicate ip ?

Cool, my Netgear FA311 gets recognized by the system :))
But whatever ip adress i choose in network preference, i got the 'duplicate ip' alert when trying to use the net, and then the net_server goes down.
Any idea why?

Hi!

I know, it's not your area, but can you write a driver to my PCTel's HSP56 Micromodem?
