My workstation is happily sharing IRQ 11 between a second VGA card, two USB controllers, onboard audio and a network card. Having read the output from the system log below and checked more detailed spec from the HP/Compaq website, the arrangement for the embedded network interface is something I personally haven't seen before. It combines a RJ45 socket for 10/100baseTX ethernet with and AUI connector for 10base5 or 10base2 ethernet. >When I connect the Netelligent NIC with computer directly via >corss-over cable I can >ping machine with m0n0wall and log in, but I had some errors >(lost ping).(Card in >second computer with auto negotiation of speed and duplex mode >- when I tried set >some value - for example 100BaseTX/Full/Half duplex I had no >connection) > I think this is the key symptom. The Netelligent NIC doesn't seem to be succesfully auto negotiating the connection speed in all circumstances. This is why when you are using the cross-over cable directly to another PC, when that second PCs network card is configured NOT to auto negotiate, the connection fails. Having done a little research on Google, I have found a description of a similar problem where the connection failed unless BOTH ends of the connection were set to auto-negotiation (http://lists.debian.org/debian-isp/2001/debian-isp-200108/msg00218.html). This could be your situation. >When I pluged in Netelligent NIC in to a 10/100 switch Card >was up, but no >transsmision could be done. > Again probably symptomatic of the speed negotiation problems above. If the switch is of the unmanaged variety there is not much you can do. If it is a managed switch, i.e. there is console or http access to the switches configuration, you may be able to set the port to which the Deskpro is connected, to a speed and duplex mode that will allow a connection. Ideally this wouldn't be necessary as a combination of the driver and the Netelligent NIC should auto-negotiate. You might be able to use http://<your_m0n0wall>/exec.php in combination with the ifconfig command to force the NIC into a suitable media type and option , however this would not persist between reboots of the system.
