Topic: Problems getting ISA NIC working

[Matthew Taylor]

Hi,

I am having problems getting an NE2000 compatible NIC working. I have edited the conf.modules file to say; alias eth0 ne irq=5 io=0x300, which are the settings, but it just won't work. The card works fine with my Slackware Linux setup but it just isn't getting detected with the e-smith/Redhat setup.

Hoping someone can help.

Thanks

Matthew

Change the conf.modules entry to:

alias eth0 ne
options ne irq=5 io=0x300

and set the ehternet driver to ne in the e-smith configuration:

/sbin/e-smith/config set EthernetDriver1 ne

and it'll work OK.
