[SuSE Linux] 3Com Etherlink III ISA
Hey, I have a 3Com Etherlink III which I cannot get to work in SuSE. Windows shows an IRQ at 10 and an Input/Output Range of 0300 - 030F. So, I have to set the 3C509 module IRQ to 10, but what about the IO address? 300? That doesn't seem to work... -- ------------------------------------------------------ |Evan DiBiase | Linux User #67066 | O= | |hyprsoft@sgi.net | <A HREF="http://counter.li.org/"><A HREF="http://counter.li.org/</A">http://counter.li.org/ | /(o)\ | | | Linux Machine #30664 | -^- | ------------------------------------------------------ "Windows 98 is a software patch masquerading as an upgrade so you have to spend money to fix the OS you already bought.

Evan, I found that leaving the parameters blank works for irq 10, io base 300. Give it a shot. I think I've been down this road before. HTH, Steve Evan DiBiase wrote:

I did the same for the 509 (of the etherlink III family), and it worked great for me. only thing to remember is to recompile (you wouldn't believe the 0f people i talk to who dont). -- Aaron Seelye Running S.u.S.E. 5.2 <A HREF="http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto"><A HREF="http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto</A">http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Why would you need to recompile? It should work with the precompiled kernels and modules. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

You need to compile the nic card into the kernel, or else it won't work. If you're using the generic kernel that comes with the cd, it would work, but you're still using a bloated, slower kernel. the first thing that most people I know do when they've just installed linux is to get the newest kernel, and then recompile it for their specific system. -- Aaron Seelye Running S.u.S.E. 5.2 <A HREF="http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto"><A HREF="http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto</A">http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

This is what worked :) I re-installed it and set the parameters to nothing. I wouldn't be talking to you now if it didn't work! :)

Make sure you do a cold boot from windows into linux. Sometimes it seems that windows puts the card into a odd state that blocks every other OS from using it. Shutdown windows and turn off your machine for a few seconds, then boot into linux. hope this helps -mike On Thu, 10 Sep 1998, Steven T. Hatton wrote:

Another issue maybe that the 3COM Etherlink II maybe in PNP-Mode. Did you check that? Either use 3c5x9cfg.exe (dos program, don't know if it works with dosemu) from the Drivers disk of 3COM (<A HREF="http://support.3com.com/infodeli/tools/nic/EtherLink_III.htm"><A HREF="http://support.3com.com/infodeli/tools/nic/EtherLink_III.htm</A">http://support.3com.com/infodeli/tools/nic/EtherLink_III.htm) to set the nic to fixed parameters or use pnpdump/isapnp for configuring the nic. yasar Evan DiBiase schrieb:

Hi
I've just got around to playing with the KDE news reader, and is it just me ,
or is its threading mechanism broken ?
