Many thanks for any advice,
For such a task, imho SuSE 10.3 is a little obese.
I'd recommend ipcop that works with my PI 166 with one PCI and one ISA NE-2000 board.
Kind regards Eberhard
I am sure you're right, but I wrote to this mailing list specifically regarding the opensuse implications. Last time I looked, ipcop didn't really do all I wanted, but I am sure there are better dedicated solutions - I just like to use one distribution for all my machines.
Also, make sure you check your BIOS and see if you can set the ISA IRQ as a "Legacy IRQ" or something similar. I have had this issue using Abit boards.
Good point. I have reserved the IRQ in BIOS and the port address not used by anything else. These are set on the card by a utility program, but unlike a PnP card it doesn't broadcast it is there until the port is probed. I can load the driver, and, indeed, use the card fully: but yast2 does not fully recognise it even when it is loaded. For instance, unlike other cards yast2 cannot discern its MAC address. I am concerned that some part of the setup I want to do will fail because the card is not fully integrated into all the relevant lists. -- Roger Hayter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
