Yeah, I think that's good advice from Matt.
One thing to always try with an ethernet card under linux (when you can't find
your exact driver) is to disable plug and play for the card (if it's PNP, of
course), assign your IRQ and I/O address manually, and give the NE2000 driver
a shot.
Like Matt says, many older ethernet cards are either NE2000s internally, or at
least have an NE2000 emulation mode you can use.
Your card is newer (being a 10/100), but it won't take long to try the NE2000
idea and it may work for you.

Well, I'd love to sell you a new box, but let me help out where I can for a
do-it-your-selfer...
Definately go AGP. Much better design. And if you've noticed, PCI cards are
disappearing from the retail channel like dinosaurs after the fireworks show.
If you want a really great ethernet card, take a look at the Intel Pro/100+
cards. They work very well under Linux and have great performance.
For sound the best for me is a SoundBlaster 128. It works well under Linux and
sounds just as good as my old Diamond MX300 (which is a fine card too, but the
beta linux drivers didn't work well for me - or I didn't work well for them..
probably the latter).
If your motherboard can support the voltage requirements, grab a good GeForce DDR
card. With the GeForce 2 cards coming out, the prices for the originals are going
to drop nicely... I'd just recommend the DDR (Double Datarate RAM) models. Great
performance.
I built an entry-level gaming machine for a customer with (believe it or not) a
Celeron 533, PC133 64 MB RAM, and a GeForce 256 DDR, and while playing Team
Fortress Classic, I can't tell much of a difference at all between that machine
and my own with is a P3/450 w/PC100 128MB RAM and a Diamond Viper II. It's just
less expensive. (The MB takes a slot 1 so when he wants to upgrade off of the
Celeron he just has to drop in a new CPU and that's it.. pretty sweet deal)
Good Luck!

Hi,
ok, I will try to help with problem.
080009202537 is MAC address or phisical address (at least it look like that)
but ussual it should look like 08:00:09:20:25:37 (at least on Sun Sparc)
On Sun you need edit file /etc/ethers (I guess that there is analog for any Linux
desribution)
and add there
08:00:09:20:25:37 my_new_printer
for example
08:00:09:20:25:37 laser_jet
or
my_new_printer 08:00:09:20:25:37
(do not remember format)
Now you just need add it in /etc/hosts table
IP_ADDRESS_HERE_FOR_THIS_PRINTER my_new_printer
for example
132.45.67.99 laser_jet
so now we ready to ping it
ping laser_jet
if it answer - we did all properly and now we can try to telnet it.
If telnet will successfull you should get some kind menu there with
parameters for this card/printer. Now save IP address inside of the
netcard to make printer available for another systems. But here could
be one problem - if inside card have been saved password which protect
settings of the card - you will not able to get access there. In this
case I recommend to try find a good hardware guy who could look at
netcard and try to find a jumper which could remove password for netcard.
(I hope that card has it)
So, now it came turn to check through man pages how it works on your
system and try it.

Subject: Strange Lilo "LI" problems
Date: Mon, 15 May 2000 19:39:19 GMT
Any assistance on the following problem would be very much appreciated!
I have two 486's...a Compaq and a Dell.
The Dell has been running Mandrake 5.3 for about a year on a 1080M
disk with a chs of 2112,16,63. I remember having trouble getting lilo 20
installed on this HD but somehow I did. Here's the lilo.conf:
boot=/dev/hda
serial=0,9600n8
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36-3
label=l
root=/dev/hda1
read-only
And here's the partition table:
Disk /dev/hda: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 2112 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 1995 1005448+ 83 Linux native
/dev/hda2 1996 2097 51408 82 Linux swap
I'm upgrading the Dell with the latest Mandrake. I took the 1080M HD from
the Dell and put it in the Compaq and it booted up just fine. I took the
1.2G HD with chs of 621,64,63 from the Compaq and put it in the Dell and
installed Mandrake.
I can't seem to get lilo installed on the 1.2G HD in the Dell! Here's
the lilo.conf (created during installation):
boot=/dev/hda
serial=0,9600n8
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
vga=normal
default=linux
keytable=/boot/us.klt
lba32

image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux-up
root=/dev/hda1
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=failsafe
root=/dev/hda1
append=" failsafe"
read-only
and here's the partition table:
Disk /dev/hda: 64 heads, 63 sectors, 621 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4032 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 559 1126912+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 560 621 124992 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 560 621 124960+ 82 Linux swap
The custom boot floppy I made during the install boots just fine. I've
tried with and without lba32 and linear and tried fdisk/mbr once to
clean it up before I re-ran lilo. The bios is set to chs of 621,64,63.
Can anyone shed some light on what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

The NC100 *DOES* work very well with Linux... it's the low-end option we
sell on our
systems.
These cards use the DEC Tulip chipset... you can get more info at
http://www.scyld.com/network/tulip.html
You'll need to compile the driver though.. I've never had any luck with
the tulip driver included with RH6.1 or 6.2.
If you need help getting it compiled and installed, feel free to email
me. I've done this a bazilliion times.
The performance of this card isn't what you'd call stunning... we sell it
as a low-end card simply for the reason it costs as much as a half-dozen
happy meals. For your usual user ops: surfing, email, snagging large
files it works great... you just wouldn't want to stick it in a server.
Have fun,
/Scott
you probably got ahold of someone at Linksys that looked at the box (it
says Windows Only) because that's the only drivers that are supplie in
the box with the card. It works, trust me.

Subject: Help me install my network card?
Date: Mon, 15 May 2000 15:53:29 -0400
Hello all,
I've read past posts, and I can't figure out what I need to do.
Recompile the kernel... don't recompile, because it's already in
there... try switching PnP in the bios...
But, I'm still a newbie and don't know what to do.
=========================================================
================== Also, SMC's site says: =====================
The procedure to activate rtl8019 on linux :
Hint:RTL8019 is ne2000 compatable.
step 1: make sure that kernel source code is included
(check /usr/src/linux)
=== http://www.smc.com/smc/drivers/Drivers/1660/1660Linux.txt ===
=========================================================
Please note that all I have in /usr/src/linux are two subdirectories
(include and configs) and a readme.
Here's what's in my /etc/conf.modules
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
Again, this is an SMC 1660 (BTA, I think) ISA NIC, which is supposed
to be NE2000 Compatable, and I have my PnP set to "disabled" from the
BIOS. Also, I am running Redhat 6.2.
Could someone please help me find where to go from here?
Many thanks,
Amanda
