[Wylug-help] ISA Network card

[Simon Wood]

Hi,
I have found that 'Tom's Root and Boot' floppy distro is useful in these ca=
ses - usually find network cards OK.

The other option is to get the (Dos based) setup floppy for the card from t=
he makers, turn off the 'plug and prey' mode and manually fix IO and INT to=
 particular settings. [I had to do this when I had some 3 Com 509's which w=
ere expecting the 'plug and prey' OS to configure them.]

Once you know the IO and INT you can specify them when you load the module.=
 IO and INT only show up in /proc once the driver is installed and working.

Maybe ISAPNP might also be able to help.

Good luck,
Simon Wood.

Does anyone know how to set up (or even find!) an ISA network card under li=
nux?

I'm running RH9 on a Dell Optiplex, and it cannot detect the card. Card doe=
s
work under windows, and the ISA slots are Ok as it can detect the old Sound
Blaster.

Have looked in /proc but the card does not have an interupt or IO. The card=
 is
some sort of Genius, but as I got it from a friend I'm not sure what type.

Any help would be appreciated.
