With an ISA NE2000 clone.
Mine is a D-Link ISA network card DE-220PCT. I suppose it fulfills these requirements.
- Disable any wired in IRQ/IO, this may be something like allowing "jumperless configuration" or something similar. Turn off any jazz about plug and play as well
It's supposed to be a plug and play card but there is no jumper on it...
- Determine an IRQ/IO range your Linux system regards as free, the I/0 range shouldnt be a problem (there are thousands of them believe it or not) You can get this from /proc/interrupts and /proc/ioports (just cat them).
I will try this. Isn't the suggestion given by YaST correct?
- With the card setup program see what IRQ/IO possibilities it gives you and choose one that would seem acceptable to your linux system.
There is no such setup program for Linux in my case.
-Set it ! -Use the card diagnostics to test it (the plug test will fail if the card aint connected, dont worry about that) -You will need to adjust rc.config or use yast1..whatever .. to pass the IRQ/IO paramaters to the card. Assuming you are using modules. If you are using NE2000 support in the kernel image you have to do something else .. repost if that is the case..
Hope this helps Cliff
Maybe some more info will be useful. I thank you in advance. Patrick
