Hello, I loss my linux for a bit, seems the sczi card couldn't catch IRQ
10, was able to get back online by getting on via the installation
kernel, then recompiled the kernel (had to take my pro-audio 16 sound
card out until it can be determined why vmlinux keeps erroring out with
a unresolved error for dma something or other) (btw, that is one
question:-(
The main reason I recompiled the kernel however was because I just
recently installed a pci ethernet card (was supposed to be ne2000
compliant). When I ran the diag in dos, I discovered the card is using
irq 11. (If it helps, it is a LanStar CC-3200PCI). After rebooting
into Linux, a message came up that it couldn't detect the ethernet
card. Guess that means I misconfigured something as I can see the card
in both Dos and OS/2.
I'm trying to set up a lan based network between my Linux/Os2 box and a
Win95 box. They are both running the same style of ethernet card except
the win95 card is a PnP standard card.
I would appreciate any help that can point me in the right direction to
get the network up:-)
Thanx Loads!

I can offer a few hints for the pci ethernet card.
First, see if you can get it to work as a module
with the standard kernel. You must have
kerneld running, and edit your /etc/conf.modules
to say the following
alias eth0 ne
and
options ne io=0x6000 irq=10
put the correct io and irq for your
card.
If it is PCI and you have a PCI Bios and
motherboard, it should be detected
at boot up. You should be able
to enter and read
what adreess and irq was assigned.
You probably don't have the io and irq right.
Also if you recompile your kernel with
ethernet built in, you must select
2 options in networking.
Those are :
--- other isa cards
--- ne2000 support
It's just the way they patched it up to
have ne2000 with other isa cards.
Good luck,
zentara
