DP83816 and linux

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DP83816

I've been trying a couple of NICs using the DP83816, but I can't get linux to configure the boards.

The natsemi driver recognizes the boards but whenever I try to assign an address with ifconfig the system reports a failure with the error message "SIOCSIFADDR: No such device eth*". I've tried many linux distributions, even very recent, they all give the same result.

The boards are AMBER MACPHYTER II DP83816 DEMO (rev 1.20).

I'd highly appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks in advance,

Marco
