Aparently, I can load the "ne" module, but the network doesn't seem to go up (the leds do not blink).
You need to pass the IO address to an ISA ne2000 card -- I use options ne io=0x300
Maybe I'll have to go for the PLIP connection... ugh, that would be real slow :-(
By the way... how do I go about setting PLIP? I assume it is a printer parallel port connection.
You need to get (or build) a special cable for this (which will cost more than an ISA ethernet card) -- there are howto's explaining this: /usr/share/doc/howto/en/mini/PLIP.gz /usr/share/doc/howto/en/PLIP-Install-HOWTO.gz
