I found out why my eepro100 won't work, but I can't seem to fix it.
Even though my nic is not in the slot next to AGP, my AGP card and nic both
have IRQ11. I have no idea why it still works in windows. It doesn't even
show up as a conflict in the device manager list. But if I click on
resources for both cards, they both have IRQ11.
I have my BIOS set for "NO PnP OS". The nic is jumerless (of course), and I
can't change the IRQ in windows. The DOS setup program that came with the nic
won't run on my machine (it proclaims that the card has not been installed in
the machine. I hate DOS.) Any ideas on changing the IRQ?
Also, I found another problem. I don't know if it is related to the IRQ
problem or not. When I try to manually load my eepro100 module, I get the
message "eepro100.o: eepro100.o: No such file or device". The eepro100.o
module is in the appropriate subdirectory of /lib/modules. What's this all
about?
I'm trying to learn something, so I appreciate any suggestions,
but I think I'll be looking for a different nic (a 3com 3c905-TX; I've heard
that they're the best). 3+ weeks of trying to get this piece of junk to work is
more than enough.
