Help: EtherNet Mentor
I am trying to set up a small ethernet network. I am so far failing at step 1? Trying to get my ethernet card recognized as a device (NE2000 Clone). I am looking for someone to guide me thru this process, I don't need my handheld but need a little direction. I have been putzin around with the how-to's for months, answers are not as obvius as some would attest. Would someone be willing to help me out, I would gladly pass on any knowledge gained to another poor sap in the future. THANK YOUR GENEROUS SOULS ANDY == ANDY BOTTMAN [EMAIL PROTECTED] ==

Re: Help: EtherNet Mentor
What type of card do you have? Is it PCI or ISA? If it's ISA, is it PNP? We can probably get your card going. I am undertaking the same project with a few more complications. Namely a PS/2 and MCA bus. Rob On Mon, 7 Jun 1999, Andy Bottman wrote: I am trying to set up a small ethernet network. I am so far failing at step 1?

Thanks It is an ISA card. I do not know if it is PNP, is there a simple way to tell? What type of card do you have? Is it PCI or ISA? If it's ISA, is it PNP? We can probably get your card going.

Re: Help: EtherNet Mentor
Well, probably the easiest way is to check with the manufacturer. How old is the card? You can try doing a pnpdumpo and see if your card is detected. If not, it's probably not PNP. Another way to tell is to try doing a modprobe, but that would involve you compiling a kernel probably. I'm going to guess it's not PNP. Do you know the io port and irq of your nic?

THANK YOUR GENEROUS SOULS ANDY == ANDY BOTTMAN [EMAIL PROTECTED] == -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null This is the right place to start. If your card is PNP and it can be programed (most can) CHANGE IT! Give it a fixed address and irq. When you loaded Linux, do you tell it you were using IP addresses and set up the network? If not, RELOAD! It doesn't hurt (not much anyway), I've done it plenty of times. Of course, you can add the software needed with dselect but I find it easier to start over (at least, at this point).
