I used the below information to set up an ISA card a while back. It may help, just ignore the Corel references. Brian Marr Q: How do I configure my ISA- PnP network card? Corel LINUX OS 1.0 Users: A: Issue the following command from a console screen as root : /sbin/pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf <ENTER> This command scans your system for ISA-PnP devices and writes their resources into the /etc/isapnp.conf file. Open this file using the Text Editor (Application Starter | Applications | Utilities | Text Editor). Look for lines similar to the following: # Card 1: serial identifier 91 00 00 81 87 23 21 b0 4e # VendorId SUP2123, Serial Number 33159, checksum 0x91 # Version 1.0, Vendor version 0.0 # ANSI string -->3COM 3C509<-- Each time you see the Card 1: heading, an ISA-PnP card has been found on the system. The ANSI string line should give you a good indication as to what card it is. Below these lines, you'll have some resources available for the device, similar to the following: # (IO 0 (BASE 0x03f8)) # IRQ 4. # High true, edge sensitive interrupt # (INT 0 (IRQ 4 (MODE +E))) Remove the "#" symbols from the first and fourth lines. For example, if you wanted the system to use the values it lists above, you'd change the lines to match this: (IO 0 (BASE 0x03f8)) # IRQ 4. # High true, edge sensitive interrupt (INT 0 (IRQ 4 (MODE +E))) This makes ISAPNPTOOLS configure the card using IRQ 4 and IO 0x3f8. Now search for the following lines at the end of this Card: section: # End dependent functions # (ACT Y) Remove the #' symbols to make the settings take effect: # End dependent functions (ACT Y) Save the file. Now see if this configuration is correct and ensure that it doesn't conflict with other hardware devices on the system. Type the following as root from a console screen: /sbin/isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf <ENTER> If you receive any errors, you'll need to go back into the file and change IRQ, IO or both. Then, save the file and try running this command again. You can use the Control Center to get an indication of what resources are currently being used on your system as a guideline. Repeat the above procedure until you find a combination that works. Activate the Network Card =================================================================================================== Corel LINUX OS 1.1 & Corel LINUX OS Second Edition Users: A: Follow the instructions for Corel LINUX OS 1.0 until Activate the Network Card, then continue with the following : In a console window, type the following : modprobe {module name} irq {irq value} io {port value} Substitute the proper module name, IRQ and IO found earlier (a list of common network cards and their associated module names can be found at the bottom of this document) and press Enter. If this command returns to the command line with no errors, the resources you have selected do not conflict with anything and the module is the correct one. If this command returns with the error "Device or resource busy" verify the module, IO and IRQ for your card. If the modprobe command is successful, open the Text Editor and edit the /etc/modules file. Insert a line after the #auto line with the module name used above: #auto <module name> Now save the file. Next, open the Text Editor again and add the following to the /etc/conf.modules file: options <module name> io=0xnnn irq=n alias eth0 <module name> (replace <module name> and "n" with the proper values found above). Save the file. On Thursday 06 December 2001 00:29, you wrote:
I have just installed suse 7.3 and cannot get the network card working.
It worked with previous incarnations, but now just doesn't seem to be recognised or found by the system.
I'm running a separate DHCP server where the machine needs to get it's IP, so does this matter?
Any help much appreciated.
