RE: [SLE] the continuing cable modem & suse newbe saga
Hi, I don't recall the earlier messages, but did you try setting up the NIC with the SB card pulled from the system? If it is the SB causing a conflict, the NIC should work fine once it's gone. Pardon my ignorance but the SB live card, is that pci or isa? Tim

well i got alot of good advise from all of you, so much advise taht it took me a few days to try all of it. thanks all
the bad news is none of it worked. ,I think however that the problem is not the advice but my system.. as far as I can tell I have a irq conflict that I can not solve.
both my soundblaster live and my 3com network card are trying to use irq 10.. I dont get it cause I turned off the pnp in the bios.

Ron if you have a 3com isa card try using disk2 in dos from here. http://support.3com.com/infodeli/tools/nic/3c509/3c5096.1.htm I have mine set in ISA mode using IRQ 3 and address 0x240. There are some programs in Linux to do this but I haven't tried them 3c515-diag 3c5x9setup etc... This was my only problem so far. -Btm77 -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Ron, I guess I will fill in the rest of the info. What you need the dos file for is so that you can use a boot disk and run the utility and change the IRQ and other settings. :) This way you can fix the conflict. laters, -- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org SuSE 6.3 (2.2.14) ICQ UIN:49268667 ------------------------------------------------------------ " Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom " --Gen.

You need the DOS utiltiy program because the peripheral card was supplied with a floppy containing that utility program and it boots and/or runs in the DOS mode, which the floppy is already formatted for. If the peripheral card maker supplied an ext2 disk containing a linux utility program that did the same thing you wouldn't need the DOS floppy. Some are beginning to supply Linux utility programs and many more will do so in the near future. You are just entering the Linux world at a half-way point.

Ron, 3coms dos program will take the card out of pnp mode and allow you to pick some different IRQ's and stuff. This info will stay in the cards memory even if you remove it from the machine. Since I don't have anything using my serial ports I disabled the IRQ for a modem and the serial ports in my bios and reserved the chosen IRQ from the dos program for ISA mode. This is the only reason I have a 400M win3.1 partition on my machine. Once you have the card working right, everything else is a piece of cake. -Btm77 -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
