Hey Everyone,

Thanks for the help on my ISA 3c509 NIC's but there seems to be problems, (I must not be doing somthing right) Here is what I did so far:

1) Configue 3c509 with [3c5x9cfg.exe] utility and turn off plug and play, set the correct io/IRQ (io for eth0 is 300h, irq for eth0 is 11 , io for eth1 is 340h, irq for eth0 is 10)

2) /sbin/e-smith/config set EthernetDriver1 3c509
   /sbin/e-smith/config set EthernetDriver2 3c509
   /sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save

3)edit /etc/conf.modules to include: options 3c509 io=0x300
                                                 options 3c509 io=0x340

 Everything seems to work (the console even say's I'm using the 3c509 driver for eth0/eth1) but when I boot up it says:

Bringing up Interface eth0...Delaying eth0 inialization                [FAILED]
Bringing up Interface eth1...Delaying eth1 inialization                [FAILED]

and it doesn't connect to my network

I've run the 3c5x9cfg test and it say's the nic's are fine (the Nic's work in redhat 6.1 just fine, so I don't know whats wrong)

Thanks for the help,

why don't you try it this way
   alias eth0 3c509
   alias eth1 3c509
   options 3c509 io=0x300,0x340

Make that:

options eth0 io=0x300
options eth1 io=0x340

Hey,

I got it working, visit me on my e-smith server!

my etc/conf.modules now reads:

alias eth0 3c509
alias eth1 3c509
options eth0 irq=11
options eth1 irq=10

and it works great!
Thanks for all your help,
