After trying for about 2 weeks to get my Ethernet card working on my
main machine I have finally succeeded in getting the module to load.
Yippee!  Now I need to connect it to something - which is my old
Gateway 486 with a 3-Com (something) 10T ethernet card.

Can anyone suggest a way to determine the appropriate Interrupts and
IRQs to send to the various modules as options?  I am using the Boot
diskette that came with my boxed CD set because the 486 does not have
a CD-ROM, so I am going to try a network install if I can get this
card stuff figured out.

When I try "autoload of modules" in the install program, it returns
that no modules have been loaded.  When I list the interrupts and IRQs
all of them have these cryptic names none of which look like ETH0.
The card is plugged in and powered up (the little light on the back of
my machine is working).  Is this a Bios thing?

Thanks!
Stuart
