[SuSE Linux] NE2000 problem with 5.3
hello all, i have an ne2000 card set up with I/O 300, IRQ 10, not pnp. it worked great under RH5.1 with kernel 2.0.34 but i can't get it recognized with SUSE 5.3. are there any no problems here? what should i check? thanks, Greg Thomas, Network Admin Jack Nadel, Inc. 310-815-2638 - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

check /etc/conf.moduls for an entry like: options ne io=0x300 irq=5 make sure you give io and int as a parameter. I fought against this for a long time, until i discovered conf.modules. (provided you compiled ne2k support as a module) Compiling it direct into the kernel should do the trick as well.

I don't know about compiling it directly into the kernel, I have an ne2000 boward as well, and the only way the system would recognize it was if it was as a module so that when it loaded it would get the necessary parameters from the rc.modules (slakware) or conf.modules (suse) file.

Two of Realtek8029 (NE2000 compatible) work here on the same machine compiled directly into the kernel.

I have a Realtek8029 (pci) and a Realtek8019(isa) ; both are NE2000 cards. They are on different machines, and both are built into the kernel. They both need to be declared in conf.modules to get them to work. I guess it depends on what you mean by "built into the kernel". I have the ethernet NE2000 support for the cards built with an "*" , rather than "M" in make menuconfig. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

yes. * means in my terms "direct into the kernel" and M means as a module. I was very annoyed when I had an ftp install from the boot disk with my ne2000 clone and couldnŽt use it after my setup was complete. My workaround was to compile it into the kernel (*). Later I learned about conf.modules. ThatŽs why I switched to modules Juergen -- ========================================== __ _ Juergen Braukmann mail: brauki@cityweb.de| -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Tel: 0201-743648 dk4jb@db0qs.#nrw.deu.eu| /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ==========================================_\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

Well, you need to declare the card in /etc/conf.modules 2 lines: alias eth0 ne option ne io 300 irq 10 You also need to have the ne module installed or build ne2000 support into the kernel. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
I found an excellent deal for a Cyrix 6x86 P150+ based system. Only 150 Canadian Dollars with 1 Gig HDD and 14 inch monitor!! :-) However, before I go ahead and get it, I wanted to know if there was any linux related bugs in the chip. I remember reading that Cyrix chips were buggy under Linux, and that a "workaround" had to be done.

The Problem with the Cyrix is the Heatsink. Take good care that the motherboard has a good heatsinc and be prepared for a lot of energy being used. Besides this get a program called set6x86, I don't know where it is but you should be able to find it in freshmeat.net or yahoo :)) It lets you get the maximum speed out of the cyrix as well as let the cpu be turned to power save mode while idling.

Yeah, when you get it, pull the fan-heatsink off and put some thermal heat-sink paste on the chip, then put the fan-heatsink back on. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
Can you test it ? I mean like getting it for 48h, run a complete gnome compile on it and when it works keep it ? I had lock ups with a badly cooled 6x86 on a no name motherboard (tomato it was called (sic!)), but when I left the case open it worked :)) cheers Michael On 09-Feb-99 Zulfiqar Naushad wrote:
