Re: [SLE] instalation problem ethernet card, D-Link

Fine to hear that the card is recognized at least right. I am now gathering information on the irq and io ports but have there some problems. First I put the latest information about the irq's and io's in files. I will now trying out to sort through the information. Would it help to give the IRQ's for the installed cards in the bios?

Thanks for the hints. As far as I know I have an IO address overlap. That info I just found out. Do not know how to proceed from there .

As for DOS. I did not want to setup a DOS network because I could not get it right away from the beginning.

You can download a DOS utility from the D-Link Web site and use it with a bootable DOS (FreeDOS) disk and set the I/O address and IRQ. It's also a good idea to disable Plug-&-Play in the BIOS.

Your card doesn't use the VIA Rhine chipset; it was correctly identified as a ne card.
