Look in your config/profile-name/profile-name.hal file, you will need to
make it resemble this, edit addresses for yours:
loadrt probe_parport
#loadrt hal_parport cfg="0x378 out "
loadrt hal_parport cfg="0xd000 out " <--this line
setp parport.0.reset-time 2000
Plus any options needed by your statement that it is a PCI-E card, my
system is std PCI.
That is assuming that netmos 9815 card is usable, I _think_ that one is one
we agreed to blacklist in our discussions here, about 2 years ago. It
doesn't do the EPP mode correctly or some such. I have one, made by
Rosewill, and I took it back out and am now using a startech (on the box)
card which signs on according to an "lspci -v" as:
00:0a.0 Parallel controller: Timedia Technology Co Ltd SUN1888 (Dual
IEEE1284 parallel port) (rev 01) (prog-if 02)
Subsystem: Timedia Technology Co Ltd Device 0103
Flags: stepping, medium devsel, IRQ 11
I/O ports at d000 [size=8]
I/O ports at d400 [size=8]
Kernel driver in use: parport_pc
Kernel modules: parport_pc
Only one port is bonded out, but it works fine, running my toy sized mill.
Merry Christmas!
Cheers, Gene
