Under Win98 the card works fine with TCP/IP and is reported at i/o 0xFCE0 - FCFF and irq=9, but seems undetectable under Linux, it is either reported as absent or "device busy" when atempting to load the correct module. Having tried every possible combination of settings I can find I am now at a loss.

The following messages are displayed at boot time; Setting up network device eth0 SIOCSIFADDR: No such device SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device which I realise means the driver isn't installing despite being set up in YAST

I would compile the driver as a module first to get it working and then put it in the kernel afterward. Is your network card pnp? If so you will need to use ISAPNP tools to initialize your card to compatible settings. run: bash>lsmod and make sure that you card's driver is running as a module. It should read something like ne.o or ne-pci.o , then check ifconfig if it is running correctly. If all of that doesn't work, I'd go a look at /etc/conf.modules as root and see if I can't hack the parameters of eth0 or ne to make the card work. I would then: bash>source /etc/conf.modules If this doesn't get you anywhere, look at the ldp at <A HREF="http://www.linux.org"><A HREF="http://www.linux.org</A">http://www.linux.org</A</A>> for the latest howto's on networks and network cards. It should have more information than what I just listed.
