Topic: Can't configure my RTL8019

[Jose Maria Osuna]

In E-smith 3.0, i can't configure my network adapter RTL8019
(I/O=300, IRQ=11). My RTL8019 and my motherBoard are "Plug &Play" but i can't configure with de tools "isapnp".
Help me!, please.
The problems aren't finish here, my Diamond Supra 33.6i PNP(isa) Internal Modem (with I/O=3e8, IRQ=5) can't configure, so.
HELP ME, HELP ME !!!, please.

linux isnt all that hot with plug n play.  I'd also try using a pci nic.

well i didn't see the realtek 8019 in the manual under supported nics, other than the mention that it wasn't supported by the realtek driver. the realtek is basically the k-car of network cards, my suggestion would be to junk it or use it in a windows box and get yourself a supported nic for e-smith. i had the same problem with a realtek. if you've got $29CAD ($20USD) burning a hole in your pocket, you can buy an overstock/pulled 10/100 cogent/adaptec nic from www.logicbox.com, which is on the supported list and works great (i'm the proud owner of two of these cheapies).

As others have said, you might be better to get a different NIC.

You may still be able to use the modem, without using isapnp, by
doing:

setserial -av /dev/ttyS0 auto_irq autoconfigure

You'll need to log in as root to do that. Alt-F4, "root", admin password.

If that works, add that line to the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local
and you should be OK
