If I were, I'd leave the ISAPNP bit alone. If you've got the manual setup utility, give the card a fixed IO address and IRQ, and just use those as parameter when you load the network card module, e.g.: modprobe ne io=0x300 irq=3 for a card at IO 300 and with IRQ 3.
It's what I did, but the DHCP didn't seem to want to give the card its IP address. I will go and try again but if you have another idea...??
Unfortunately not. The DHCP server may be set up to only give IPs to cards with specific MAC addresses. If your card doesn't have one of these MAC addresses, it won't be offered an address. You could try posting any error messages you get to the list.
Also, I saw at boot up time that some process was still trying to load the tulip module when I though I had disabled it. I didn't find the same messages in the "messages" file in var/log/... Where should it be then? And where should I go to disable it totally?
Check /etc/init.d/boot.local (for 7.1) or /sbin/init.d/boot.local (for <= 7.0). Also check /etc/modules.conf for lines like: alias eth0 tulip and check /etc/lilo.conf for append parameters possibly specifying tulip (although I don't think this is possible).
